Gannon Women's Soccer Team Blanks Millersville; Extends Win Streak to Three

THE RUNDOWN
  • Final Score: Gannon 1, at Millersville 0
  • Records: Gannon (3-2-1, 3-2 PSAC), Millersville (2-6, 2-6 PSAC)
  • Location: Millersville, Pa. - Pucillo Field
  • The Short Story: True freshman Taylor Lewis (Erie, Pa./Harbor Creek) netted her second consecutive game-winning goal and senior Shannon Differ (Brampton, Ontario /Notre Dame C.S.S.) recorded her ninth career shutout as the Gannon women's soccer team blanked Millersville 1-0 Saturday afternoon on the road.

GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Gannon scored the contest's only goal early in the 20th minute. Freshman Emily Cekella (Harmony, Pa./Seneca Valley) connected a pass to Lewis, who scored inside the far post for a 1-0 lead.
  • The two teams combined for only five shots during the remaining 25 minutes and five seconds, before the Lady Knights took a 1-0 advantage into the halftime intermission.
  • The second half turned into a defensive slugfest as the two programs took only three combined shots. Gannon fired its only shot of the half during the opening two minutes.
  • Millersville went 46 minutes and 35 seconds without a shot until getting two off in the span of three seconds in the 88th minute. The initial shot was blocked, before the second attempt sailed high. It eventually proved to be the Marauders' only scoring chance as Gannon secured a 1-0 victory.
