ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. - Second-half goals from Lyndee Sheaffer and Bridget Monighan lifted Lebanon Valley to a 2-1 upset of #18 Elizabethtown in the regular-season finale.

The Blue Jays' Emily Butler redirected Emily Mason's hit off a corner at 8:22 to put the home team up, and the score stayed that way until the half as E-town led 7-5 on first-half shots.

The Valley was efficient with its shooting in the second half, and substitute Kelsey Heck came on in the 40th minute and made an immediate impact, passing to her right for Sheaffer to finish and level the game at 1-1.

Five Blue Jay shots missed the mark over the next 10 minutes until LVC drew a corner, and Monighan banked in the shot at the post from Lauren Brumbach to put her side ahead at 54:55. LVC had to ride out a Kristen Garman yellow card and four E-town shots in the final 15 minutes.
