EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. – Needing a win to make the Landmark Conference playoffs, the Wilkes University women's soccer team came up just short at Bruggeworth Field Tuesday night, falling to Lycoming College 4-2.

Wilkes ends the season 6-7-5 overall and 2-4-3 in conference play, while Lycoming heads to the Landmark playoffs with a 17-1-1 record and 7-1-1 against conference opponents.

The Colonels started the game hot with two quick chances on the Lycoming goal inside the first five minutes, but it would be Taylor Anthony's (Middlesex, NJ/Middlesex) strike in the 40^th minute that put Wilkes on the board after an assist by Morgan Sweed (Pennsburg, PA/Upper Perkiomen).

The Warriors quickly responded in the 43^rd minute as Julia Bidelspach scored to level the game again going into halftime. That momentum carried through the break as the visitors took the lead in the 48^th as Hannah Wood put home a cross from Aubrey Williamson.

A handball in the 65^th minute by the Warriors gave Wilkes the chance to equalize from the penalty spot, and it was Riley Mastriani (Long Valley, NJ/West Morris Central) who perfectly placed the ball in the bottom-right corner to tie the game once more at 2-2.

The deadlock would not last long, as Lycoming once again found a quick response in the 67^th minute. Wood completed her brace on another corner kick to put the visitors back in front, and an 81^st minute goal by Ella Magee sealed the victory for the Warriors.

Anthony and Maggie Allen (Brick, NJ/Brick Memorial) led Wilkes with two shots on goal each, with six total Colonels putting a shot on goal. Between the sticks, Delaney Yaracs (Butler, PA/Butler) made four saves.

Wood led the Warriors with two goals, while Bidelspach led the team with three shots on goal. In goal, Riley Block made six saves in the win.
