GREENSBURG, Pa. - Seton Hill University men's soccer dropped a 2-1 match to Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference action Wednesday afternoon at Dick's Sporting Goods Field.

Seton Hill falls to 3-7-1 overall (1-4-0 PSAC) while Shippensburg moves to 5-6-0 (2-5-0 PSAC).

In what proved to be one of the most physical battles of the season, Jeff Ballard opened the scoring for Shippensburg in the 51st minute, rebounded a shot by James Connor and giving the Raiders a 1-0 advantage. Robert Furfaro gave Shippensburg a 2-0 lead in the 76th minute from a Colt Arnold assist. The Griffin's attack finally paid dividends when Scott Fox (Greensburg, PA) found the back of the net off of a rebound from a Colin Watson (Lancashire, Great Britain) shot in the 87th minute. Seton Hill continued the offensive attack but could not muster any more late game magic.

For the match, Seton Hill University outshot Shippensburg by a 21-11 margin (9-5 on-goal) and held a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks. Fox led the Griffins with four shots, including the loan goal. Cameron Evans (2-6-1) played all 90:00 in the loss, conceding both goals and grabbing three saves.  Matt Harder grabbed eight saves in the win for Shippensburg.

The Griffins return on Dick's Sporting Goods Field on  Saturday, October 10th to take on Gannon University. That match is set for a 4:00 PM start.
