Millersville, Pa. – Freshman Kelsey Mattola scored in the 85th minute to send the game to extra time against Shippensburg. The Marauders and the Raiders were unable to find a winner as they ended in a 1-1 tie through 110 minutes Tuesday evening.

Shippensburg (3-2-3, 1-1-2 PSAC) and Millersville (3-2-1, 1-2-1 PSAC) played 63 minutes before a goal was scored. The Raiders took the lead late in regulation when Katie Leverentz fed teammate Brittany Hibshman to the right side of the box. Hibshman kicked the ball toward the left side, top shelf to beat Millersville’s goalkeeper Ashley Matyasich for a 1-0 lead.
