Goal And Assist From Paskman Help Royals Past Eagles

HUNTINGDON, Pa. - Freshman midfielder Chelsea Paskman (Chalfont, Pa./Central Bucks South) scored a goal and added an assist to lead The University of Scranton to a 3-0 victory over Juniata College in Landmark Conference action Saturday afternoon.

The Royals also received a goal from sophomore midfielders Emily MacPhee (Holland, Pa./Council Rock) and Erin Unterstein (Lincroft, N.J./Middletown South) and sophomore forward Beth Stephens (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) contributed an assist as Scranton snapped a two-match losing streak to improve to 5-8-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play. The loss dropped the Eagles to 7-4-2 overall and 1-2-1 in the league.

Paskman buried a shot from the left perimeter for her fourth goal of the season, unassisted, less than four minutes into the match. Late in the first-half, MacPhee ran down an errant shot by Stephens that appeared to be going over the end line and tapped in a shot for her first goal of the season.

The Royals put the match out of reach on a goal by Unterstein in the 53rd minute on a ball served up by Paskman. Defensively, Scranton did not allow a shot on goal.

Scranton will host Moravian College in a key Landmark Conference match this Tuesday, October 16, at Fitzpatrick Field beginning at 7:00 p.m. Scranton and Moravian are currently tied for first-place in the Landmark Conference with nine points apiece, although Moravian has played one less match and has one less loss in the standings.
