ATHENS, W. Va. – Kutztown improved to 1-1-0 after a victory against Concord University on Sunday afternoon.

After six relentless corner kicks in the first half made by Golden Bear BrieAnn Shipkowski (Manheim, PA/Manheim Central), freshman Rae Carpenter (Pottstown, PA/Owen J. Roberts) finally found the back of the net, scoring the first goal in the 35th minute by header.

The Lion's Alyanna James made an immediate impact during the start of the second half, making a header goal in the 46th minute.

The tie of 1-1 on the score board ignited instant retaliation in the Golden Bear offense. A shot by KU's Jordyn Davis (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah) preoccupied the Lion's goalkeeper Kaitlyn Waslyko and gave opportunity to Taylor Higgins (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley) to score in the 46th minute.

The rest of the game continued in shots made by the Golden Bears including Sam Costello (Westfield, N.J./Westfield)'s second attempted header, with an ultimate tally of 14 shots made by KU.
