WILLIAMSPORT — Jussae Hanford scored two goals to lift the host Lycoming College women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over visiting King's in a non-conference matchup Wednesday in Williamsport.

With the win, Lycoming improved to 2-7 while King's slipped to 2-6.

After a scoreless first half, which included a half-hour lightening delay, Lycoming took a 1-0 lead when Jussae Hanford scored off an assist from Briana Riddick just 3:00 into the second half.

Hanford made it a 2-0 game when she scored unassisted during a scramble in front of the King's net at the 63:3 mark.
King's cut the lead to 2-1 when Jade Zuniga converted off a rebounded shot at 81:23. King's, however, was unable to tie the game as Lycoming held on for the victory.

The Lady Monarchs held a 10-7 advantage in shots while Lycoming led 3-2 in corner kicks.

King's goalie Lauren Duguid made three saves while Warrior keeper Jen Basch posted six stops
