Marauders defeat Shepherd 2-1; Win season series over Rams

MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – Women's soccer took down Shepherd on the road today 2-1. The win clinched the season series with the Rams after the two teams' previous match ended in a draw earlier this season. This was the Marauders' fourth win in five games as they fight for the last postseason spot in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East.
