Clarion Pa. - The Millersville women's soccer team is rolling right through PSAC competition as it won its third straight Wednesday. The Marauders beat Clarion by a score of 2-0, improving to 4-2 both overall and in the PSAC. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles fell to 2-5 overall and in the PSAC.
 
The Marauders haven't strung this many wins together since they started the 2013 season 4-0 which brought national attention to the program. At one point during the run, Millersville was ranked ninth in the country.
 
The Marauders opened tonight's game firing shots from all distances and totaling 18, which kept Clarion goalkeeper Laura Saussol busy. Saussol answered, though, as she saved a career-best 10 shots. It wasn't enough to propel the Golden Eagles to victory as it's offense wasn't able to break through the Black & Gold defense. Clarion was only able to muster eight shots, only testing Olivia Webber two times who recorded her third shutout of the season.
 
Coach Mike O'Brien's squad dominated the first half of action maintaining possession but Saussol answered each Marauder shot with a save. However, in the 73rd minute of action, Millersville was finally able reach the back of the net with one of its shots. Sophomore Halie Parker dribbled the ball out wide before firing a cross inside the box that Kady Yoders converted for her first goal of the season. A meer 35 seconds later, it was Yoders again beating Saussol to put  the Marauders up, 2-0.
 
The Golden Eagles' best opportunity to get on the board occurred late in the second half. Autumn Rosenburg fired a dipping shot from 35-yards out that ended up falling right into the arms of Olivia Webber.
 
Millersville returns home this Saturday to take on Indiana (Pa.). The game marks the first of an upcoming five-game home stand that could potentially make or break the Marauder season. Kick-off for the game against the Crimson Hawks is slated for 1 p.m. at Pucillo Field.
