WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Sophomore Sydney Sellers (Huntingdon, Pa./Huntingdon) scored twice to lead the Lycoming College women's soccer team in a 5-0 shutout of SUNY Delhi on Sunday, Sept. 11, at UPMC Field.
 
The Warriors (5-0 overall) improved on their best start in program history and have won five straight games for just the third time in program history, tying runs of five straight wins from 2021 and 2010. The Broncos fell to 1-2-2.
 
Three of the team's five goals were tallied off corner kicks, set up by first-year Natalie Bates (Newark, N.Y./Newark), as Bates became the 12^th Warrior to post three assists in one game.
 
Two of those goals were scored by Sellers. Her first was goal three for the Warriors at 55:44 in the second half, where she was situated in the center of the goal. Sellers scored three minutes later on another corner by Bates, after senior Bridgett Maaloum (Lynbrook, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) caught the ball just inside the box and passed to Sellers at the right goal post.
