BOX SCORE

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Longwood University dropped a disappointinig 6-1 women’s collegiate soccer decision at NCAA Division II’s nationally-ranked #2 Kennesaw State University Sunday in Georgia. The Lancers record is now 7-4-1, while the Owls improved to 11-1-0.

At #2 Kennesaw State, freshman Kelsie Bradberry/Richmond (Monacan) scored her fourth goal of the season in the first half at 18:43, assisted by classmate Tiffany Crane/Virginia Beach (Kellam), to move the Lancers into a 1-1 tie. Longwood battled the Owls tough during the first 45 minutes and trailed just 2-1 at the intermission. Bradberry’s four goals this fall are tied for the team-lead, while Crane leads the team with five assists. Everything went the way of the hosts in the second half as KSU pulled away for the convincing home victory.
