WEST CHESTER, Pa. – Senior attacker

West Chester (2-0, 1-0 PSAC) scored the first six goals of the game and never looked back. Shippensburg (3-3, 0-1) responded with a pair of goals, but that was as close as the Raiders would get the rest of the way.

In fact, 10 of her 11 shots on the year have found the back of the net so far. Additionally, she picked up six draw controls and has 13 DC's on the young season.
Altman scored three goals in each half to balance her attack against the Raiders. Sophomore
Lindsay Monigle (Rehoboth Beach, Del./Cape Henlopen) scored a goal and added three assists for a four-point afternoon. She had a five-point game against Georgian Court.
Julianne Clemens (Springfield, Pa./Springfield-DELCO) made just one save in 47 minutes of action in the cage for West Chester. Freshman
Jessica Gorr (Exton, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) also made a save in her collegiate debut – playing the final 13 minutes of the game in relief of Clemens.
