Women's Soccer Opens Season With 2-0 Road Win

Newcomers Provide Offense in Victory Over Mountain Cats



JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Led by a goal and an assist from junior forward Megan Harvis (Delran H.S./Delran, N.J.), the Goldey-Beacom College women's soccer team opened its season with a 2-0 victory over the University of Pittsburgh Johnstown on Thursday afternoon.

The Lightning took a quick 1-0 lead in the 14th minute when freshman forward Kelsey Vick (Paul VI H.S./Clarksboro, N.J.) scored the first goal of her college career off an assist from Harvis.

Just over a minute into the second half, Harvis took a long pass from freshman defender Tanner Turner-Rush (Susquehanna Township H.S./Harrisburg, Pa.) and scored on a breakaway for her first goal of the season.

Making the first start of her college career, freshman goalkeeper Marie Goodman (BCIT-Westampton H.S./Willingboro, N.J.) made six saves to earn her first career shutout.

Senior goalkeeper Timi Shiock (Punxsutawney H.S./Punxsutawney, Pa.) made three saves in a losing effort for the Mountain Cats.
