BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Olivia Blasone (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs) and Jillian Buchman (Drums, Pa./Hazleton) both scored second half goals as No. 4 Kutztown used a second half spurt to down No. 10 Bloomsburg 2-0 Tuesday afternoon in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference action at Bloomsburg.

Buchman then, a week after being named PSAC Athlete of the Week, doubled the Maroon and Gold total with her sixth of the year 5:41 into the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 2-0. Dusman assisted Buchman's goal and leads the PSAC with 31 points (12 goals, 7 assists).
