Senior attacker Liz Stockdale (Beaver, Pa./Mercersburg Academy), sophomore midfielder Lura Allen (Hingham, Mass.) and sophomore midfielder Julia Fouts (Cleveland Heights/Hathaway Brown) scored as Ohio Wesleyan finished the first half with a 3-0 run and went on to defeat Frostburg State in non-conference action on Saturday.

The Bishops had taken a 3-1 lead on a goal by sophomore attacker Alexa Deaton (Eden, Md./Mercersburg Academy) with 18:27 left in the first half, but Frostburg responded with a score by freshman attacker Meredith Martin (Fairfax, Va./Woodson) less than 20 seconds later and tied the game on a goal by freshman attacker Holly Reidt (Freeland, Md./Hereford) with 10:34 left in the half.
