MALVERN, Pa. – Freshman Jessica Umpstead (Montgomery, Pa./Montgomery Area) scored three goals and dished out an assist to lead the Lycoming College women's soccer team to a 5-2 victory over Immaculata University in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 21 at Draper Walsh Stadium.
 
The Warriors (5-2-1 overall) are 4-0-1 over their last five games, while outscoring their opponents 13-4 in that span.

Lycoming struck twice in the 28^th minute, with sophomore Bailey Gilmore (Ivyland, Pa./Germantown Academy) scoring her first of the season and Umpstead netting her first of the day.
 
Sophomore Alicia Blizzard (Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) helped the Warriors extend their lead to three with a foot in the next two scores, dishing an assist to Umpstead in the 30^th minute before connecting on her first goal of the season off a pass from Umpstead in the 56^th minute.
 
The Mighty Macs followed with a goal in the 57^th minute from Kelli Dombroski. However, Umpstead notched another score in the 88^th minute to put the stamp on the victory.
 
Sophomore Jess Riordan (Vineland, N.J./Our Lady of Mercy) earned the victory in net for the Warriors, tallying seven saves. Maddy Terry made six stops for the Mighty Macs.
 
The Warriors are back on the field on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 4 p.m. when they head to SUNY Delhi for a non-conference game.
