WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Junior midfielder Bridget Maaloum (Lynbrook, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) had a goal and an assist to lead the Lycoming College women's soccer team to a key 2-0 MAC Freedom win over King's College in their final regular home game on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 26, at UPMC Field.
 
The Warriors (11-5-1 overall, 3-3-1 MAC Freedom) earned their seventh shutout on the season, one shy of the school record of eight set in 2003, thanks to senior goalkeeper Jess Riordan (Vineland, N.J./Our Lady of Mercy), who made six saves as the defense held the Monarchs (3-9-1 overall, 1-5-1 MAC Freedom) to nine shots.
 
The 11 wins is second-most in program history, one shy of tying the 2004 Warriors for the school record. The Warriors are tied for fourth in the MAC Freedom at the end of their game, but will likely need a positive result in their final regular season game at Stevens in order to earn the first postseason bid in program history.
 
Maaloum struck first for the Warriors in the 50th minute from just in front of the right goal post, firing into the far left corner off a through pass from fellow junior Bella Green (South Williamsport, Pa./South Williamsport). Green's nine assists on the season are the second-most in program history.
 
The Warriors scored again in the 73rd minute thanks to senior Jayden Leighow (Unityville, Pa./Hughesville), who connected in front of the goal after the ball got past the Monarchs goalkeeper. Leighow leads the Warriors with 12 goals and Maaluom nabbed her sixth assist of the season after delivering a high ball through to Leighow.
 
The Warriors outshot the Monarchs, 12-9, with Bender making seven saves.
 
The Warriors return to action on Saturday, Oct. 30, as they travel to Stevens in their final regular season MAC Freedom match at 12 p.m. in Hoboken, N.J.
