How It Happened
SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Teanna Shutt broke a 0-0 tie in the 62nd minute and Lebanon Valley's women's soccer team handed Susquehanna its first loss of the season in a 1-0 win for the Dutchmen on Wednesday night in non-conference action. LVC improved to 4-1-3, while the River Hawks fell to 8-1-1.

At 61:30 with the game knotted at 0-0, Shutt ran down the left side and stopped from about 20 yards out and lifted a perfect ball over the finger-tips of a diving Julia Tolin and into the back of the net for the game's lone tally.

The Dutchmen's defense took over for the remainder of the match, and limited Susquehanna's scoring chances. Emmie Santoleri, Emma Longenecker, Taylor Kleeschulte, Lea Dungan, and goalkeeper Emma Strickler were stout all evening and were a huge part of the win.

The River Hawks saw a decent chance in the 84th minute, but Strickler was there to make the save and preserve the 1-0 Dutchmen lead. In the final minutes, LVC was able to keep the ball in Susquehanna's end and run out the clock to pick up the big victory.
