The Snapper

On senior day, Millersville’s women’s soccer team rose together as one and sent their seniors, Sarah Cameron, Nicki Conzentino, and Jamie Lancaster off in style with an upset of one of the PSAC’S best teams, the Bloomsburg Huskies.

It had been a long time since the women’s soccer team was lighting up the scoreboard. Finally after an agonizing stretch, the Lady Marauders broke out of their slump. Though the 6-0 drubbing of a hapless Chestnut Hill squad will not erase the memory of an eight game winless streak, it certainly is a positive. The trip to Philadelphia gave the team a break from the pressure of PSAC games in which every minute was a struggle.

Just a month ago Millersville’s women’s soccer team was sitting pretty at 4-2 and averaging 2.7 goals a game. Things have gone south in a hurry. Since their hot start, the ladies have gone 0-6-2 scoring only four goals. While it would be easy to mail in the season, that has not been the case. Despite the recent struggles the desire has still been there. Of the eight losses, five have gone to overtime and another was a 1-0 loss to Kutztown.

Heading into the week of September 15 it seemed Millersville’s women’s soccer team had a chance to establish themselves as a force in the PSAC East. That opportunity was left on the table; Millersville dropped two contests to Kutztown and Edinboro respectively.

Lately it seems that Millersville’s women’s soccer team has the ability to flip the switch and score goals in waves. Last season, goal scoring was an issue, but this year those troubles seem like distant memories.
