Over this past weekend, Shippensburg took their two game win
streak to Feasterville, PA and the Sportsplex. On tap for the Raiders
were the #16 ranked Drexel Dragons, arch rival Millersville, #22 ranked
Temple University, and finally the #1 ranked Neumann Knights. After
narrowly espcaping a 7-6 victory over Drexel, the Raiders knew it was
time for a change, and some lines were shuffled and position changed,
the results: an 11-2 drubbing of Millersville on Saturday night. With
the new found confidence, the Raiders showed up early and fought from
behind to tie the #1 ranked Knights 3-3. With one more game on tap the
Raiders looked at the possibility of an undefeated weekend, and
standing in their way was the Temple Owls. Shippensburg came out strong
and never trailed, enroute to a 7-3 victory and a 3-0-1 record on the
weekend. The Raiders are riding a 6 game unbeaten streak into this
Friday nights game vs Duquesne, a streak they hope can continue till
regionals.
