WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
– After winning the River Derby Cup showdown against Susquehanna, 2-1, earlier this season, the Lycoming College women's soccer team will look to earn its second trophy of the year against Penn College on Wed., Oct. 2, at 4 p.m., at the Shangraw Athletic Complex in the fourth annual Battle of the Lumber.

The team will look to take back the Lumber on its home turf this year after the teams battled to a 0-0 double-overtime tie in 2012. The Warriors dropped an unofficial shootout at the end of the game, allowing Penn College to take home the trophy.  Lycoming had won the matchup both years prior to the tie.

The Warriors (1-7 overall) are coming off a 7-1 loss to FDU-Florham on Saturday, Sept. 28. Junior Emily Truett (Hughesville, Pa./Hughesville Area) scored in the second minute of the game to lead the Warriors in the game.

Penn College (4-3 overall) enters with a two-game winning streak, having defeated Chatham and Penn State Beaver, beating the latter by a 11-0 margin. The Wildcats rely on sophomores Robyn Beddow, who leads the team with five goals this season, and Madilyn Walters, who has scored three goals in the two previous games.

The trophy game is named in honor of the history of the city of Williamsport as the Lumber Capitol of the World in the late 1800s. Perhaps appropriately, the trophies will travel a block away from Millionaire's Row en route to the Shangraw Athletic Complex. Millionaire's Row, located on Fourth Street in Williamsport, is the most visible remaining link to that period, as large 100-plus year-old mansions line the street, showing the unique prosperity that the city embraced during that period.
