BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Junior midfielder
Fran Miller (Central Bucks East H.S./Doylestown, Pa.) scored two goals and added an assist as Bloomsburg University (8-8-1) snapped a two-match losing streak with a 4-1 non-conference victory over Goldey-Beacom College (4-13-0) at the Huskies' Sports Stadium on Thursday evening.
Led by Miller, who recorded his third multi-goal game of the season, the Huskies exploded for four goals in the first half en route to the victory.
The Huskies took a quick 1-0 lead in the seventh minute when Miller scored his eighth goal of the season after heading in a loose ball past senior goalkeeper
Ignacio Farias (Maracay, Venezuela).
With 22:18 remaining in the first half, the Huskies were given a penalty kick after the Lightning were called for a foul inside the penalty area. Miller converted the penalty kick for his team-high ninth goal of the season, upping the Huskies' advantage to 2-0.
Just under six minutes later, freshman midfielder
Spencer Conrad (East Pennsboro H.S./Enola, Pa.) extended the margin to 3-0 when he scored his fifth goal of the season after a long shot off a free kick by Miller.
In the 44th minute, the Huskies received another penalty kick after a foul by the Lightning in the penalty area. Senior forward
Bryce Shaffer (Gettysburg H.S./Gettysburg, Pa.) scored his sixth goal of the season past Farias to give Bloomsburg a 4-0 cushion at the intermission.
Less than 15 minutes into the second half, senior midfielder
Matt Bik (Sacred Heart H.S./Vineland, N.J.) ended the Huskies' shutout bid after getting a pass from freshman
Alberto Moran-Sanchez (Vigo, Spain) and scoring on a shot from 30 yards away for his third goal of the season.
However, the Lightning were unable to get any closer.
While Miller led the Huskies to the victory, junior goalkeeper
Ramon Lobo, Jr. (Northern H.S./Dillsburg, Pa.) made two saves for Bloomsburg, which limited the Lightning to just 11 shots.
Meanwhile, Farias made 11 saves for Goldey-Beacom while Bik moved into a tie for seventh place in school history with the 10th goal of his college career.
The Lightning, who have lost four of their last five matches, will end the season on Saturday evening when they travel to Howard University for a 5 p.m. match against the Bison. Meanwhile, the Huskies will travel to East Stroudsburg on Saturday evening.
