EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. - The Gannon women's soccer team rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second half, but East Stroudsburg answered with the game-winning goal in the 84th minute as the Warriors posted a 3-2 victory in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) action.

East Stroudsburg owned a 2-0 halftime lead after scoring on an own goal 13:13 into the match and on Bridget Connell's tally in the 32nd minute. The Warriors out-shot the Lady Knights 9-3 in the first 45 minutes.

Gannon rallied in the second half. Emily Martin (Carlisle, Pa./Carlisle) scored her first career goal in the 54th minute, finishing a pass from Amanda Sharbaugh (Sarver, Pa./Knoch).

Andrea Eisenhart (East Liverpool, Ohio/Beaver Local) then knotted the match at two with 9:07 left in regulation. The unassisted tally was her second goal in the last two contests.
