Thompson leads Cal U past Millersville, 2-1

• Box Score
 
MILLERSVILLE, Pa. (Nov. 2) – Senior Stephanie Thompson (Queensville, Ontario/Huron Heights Secondary) scored both Vulcan goals in the team's 2-1 win over Millersville in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) match Saturday night.
 
The No. 7 California University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team concludes the regular season at 15-2-1 overall and 15-1 in conference play. The Vulcans will be the top seed in the PSAC Tournament that begins on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Meanwhile, the Marauders finish the season at 7-8-1 in the PSAC and 8-9-1 overall.
 
Thompson gave the Vulcans the lead with her first goal of the game right before the 19th minute. The Ontario product headed in a free-kick off the foot of sophomore Danielle Macleary (Wilmington, Del./St. Marks) to put Cal U up 1-0.
 
Neither team put the ball in the back of the net for the next 60 minutes until Millersville finally broke through in the 76th minute to even the score at 1-1. The Vulcans did not waste much time responding as less than three minutes later Thompson headed in another free kick, this one from junior Erin Hogan (Beaver, Pa./Beaver), to put Cal U back on top at 2-1.
 
Freshman Meghan Jayes (New Albany, Ohio/New Albany) made a pair of saves in the final 10 minutes of the match to secure the victory for the Vulcans and tied a season high with six saves in the match.
 
Both teams attempted nine shots, but the Vulcans attempted nine corner kicks compared to none by the Marauders.
