ABOUT THE MATCH

Following their 3-0 win over Shepherd, the Marauders traveled back home to begin preparing for Wednesday's match against Shippensburg. Millersville's offense dominated during their last competition against Shippensburg on Sept.13. Connor Fiadino gave the Marauders an early 1-0 lead off an assist from Fallou Cissse. Then, to kick start the second half, Jake Altimore scored on a penalty kick that was quickly followed by a third goal from Bob Hennessey. Shippensburg scored one goal in the 76th minute of play to break the shutout, but the Marauder defense was able to maintain the lead and secure the victory.
