HEAD COACH STEVE WIDDOWSON QUOTES
• "We had chances in the past few overtime games. We created more today but especially in regulation compared to other games. We played some great soccer today and looked very good at times but just couldn't find our reward for it."
• "[Shippensburg] is a physical team so we had to match that and be prepared to get hit. As ever, we just looked to move the ball quickly and find gaps to break them down and we did well with that for most of the game."
• "With three games remaining, we just need to keep playing like we did today. If we can keep and move the ball like we did today we can do some good things. We need to stay sharp and focused."

INDIVIDUAL LEADERS
• Gosselin posted a team-high four shots and three on net coming off the bench. Lienbach, Flickinger and freshman Anthony Calamia recorded three shots.
