Another Lancaster Bible College women's soccer game, another win and another shutout.

For the fourth time in five games, the Chargers did not give up a goal and extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-0 win over Penn St. Abington in NEAC action at Charger Field on Thursday.

Ally Brown scored twice, her sixth and seventh goals of the year, and Whitney Heise scored to lead LBC. Though the Chargers controlled play for much of the first half, the game remained scoreless until 38:22 into the game when Amanda Bracelin streaked down the right side with the ball and crossed the ball into the box where Heise tipped it over to Brown who put the ball into the lower right-hand corner.

LBC took that 1-0 lead into halftime and extended it to 2-0 when goalkeeper Emily Lloyd's punt took a large bounce past the Nittany Lions' defenders and Heise collected the ball and ripped a shot into the upper left-hand corner. The assist was the first of Lloyd's collegiate career.

Brown all but put the game away less than four minutes later when she gathered in a rebound and put the ball into an empty net. Freshman Monica Horning's shot was saved by Penn St. Abington goalkeeper, Gabrielle Benedict, but it bounced out front and right to Brown's foot who put the ball into the net.

"We made some nice adjustments in the second half and decided we had the team speed to beat their defenders," Chargers' Head Coach Ken Craul said. "We played pretty well today overall."

The Nittany Lions used a flat four defense that caused LBC to go offside 12 times, but because of LBC's speed, it also gave them many odd-man rushes, including a few breakaways. Benedict made 17 saves for the Nittany Lions and kept them in the game for much of the first half.

WIth the win, LBC sits atop of the NEAC standings at 4-0. They will take on non-conference opponent Lycoming at 4:00 p.m. on Monday at Charger Field.

Notes:
-The Chargers have won nine straight home games dating back to last season, the longest in program history.

-LBC is averaging 3.14 goals per game and giving up just 0.57 goals per game.
