How It Happened
Lebanon Valley's recent hot streak continued with a 1-0 victory over St. Lawrence on day one of the annual William Smith Classic on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 17.

Rachel Gorman netted her first goal of the season in the game's sixth minute off an assist from Hannah Simon following a penalty corner. It proved to be the game-winning score for the Flying Dutchmen (5-1) as neither team converted an attempt the rest of the way.

The Saints' final shot on goal came in the 57th minute but LVC goalkeeper Sarah DiMaggio turned away Bailey Sherwin's effort to keep the shutout intact. St. Lawrence (3-2) failed to get a legitimate offensive look the rest of the way.
