Leisher's goal lifts Marauders over ESU

MILLERSVILLE, Pa.  – Rachel Leisher scored a goal in the 66' on Saturday night to break a scoreless-tie and lift Millersville to its second win at Pucillo Field this season.

The upset-minded Marauders started the first half attacking, firing their only three shots of the half in the first seven minutes. East Stroudsburg would answer with four shots of its own, none beating out Bella Fiorenza which led to a 0-0 score at the break.

Much like the first half, 'Ville tallied just three total shots, but the third resulted in a game-winning score. Leisher, in one of her final games at Pucillo Field, fired a missile from just outside of the ESU box, past the outstretched arms of the Warrior keeper and into the top-right corner of the net.

The Warriors would attempt to tie the game with four shots on-goal following Leisher's score, but Fiorenza wouldn't allow it, stopping all four shots and sending the Marauders home with a win over homecoming weekend.

POSTGAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH MATT PROCOPIO
Thoughts on the win: "Great performance and win today. The girls stuck to our game plan and executed very well. I thought it was a great game overall by both teams."
