Lycoming women’s soccer earns 9-1 win against Goucher

TOWSON, Md. — Senior forward Abigail Umhoefer notched a hat trick and junior Mikayla Long, a Lewisburg graduate, found the net twice as the Lycoming College women’s soccer team posted a 9-1 Landmark Conference win over Goucher College on Tuesday night.

Lycoming (14-1, 4-1) scored a season-high in goals, including six in the second half against Goucher (1-14, 0-6). The nine goals are the most for the Warriors since a 9-0 win vs. Bethany (W.Va.) on Sept. 18, 2021 and the most-ever scored in a conference match.

Umhoefer got all three of her goals out of the way in the first half, scoring the first goal of the match in the 20th minute off a corner kick from junior Norah Mosley. Less than two minutes later, she broke off an unassisted goal, then did so once more in the 34th minute to complete the trick, giving the Warriors a 3-0 lead.

Umhoefer recorded the third Warriors hat trick of the season, after Long on Sept. 2 at Keuka and junior Ella Magee on Sept. 13 vs. Pitt-Greensburg.

A minute after Umhoefer’s trifecta was completed, Goucher’s Jordan Wood took a pass from Madison Ybarra and slipped one into the net for the Gophers lone goal, making the score 3-1 at halftime.

In the second, the Warriors scored three goals in less than two minutes, starting with Long scoring off Magee’s corner kick in the 54th minute, then Mosley scored on her own corner kick for the second match in a row in the 55th minute. Just 47 seconds later, Long broke away for an unassisted goal, her second of the night.

Shortly thereafter, junior Kaitlyn Born scored on another breakaway in the 58th minute. Freshman Natalie Gwinn entered the contest and scored her first collegiate goal in the 74th minute. In the 81st minute, freshman Julia Rawcliffe also tallied her first collegiate score.

Scoring-wise, Long reached nine goals on the season, while Umhoefer and Mosley each are at seven goals. Born notched her third score, plus the first tallies for Gwinn and Rawcliffe. Magee’s assist gives her 39 points on the year, one shy of the single-season school record of 40 set by Jordan Lazarich in 2016.

The Warriors will have a chance to even the school record for wins (set last season) on the road in a Landmark Conference match on Saturday at Elizabethtown. The match will kick off at 1 p.m. from Ira R. Herr Field.
