(CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.) – A Mary Baldwin goal midway through the first half was the lone score of the game as Wilson fell in its home opener on Sunday afternoon. The Phoenix did well outside of that defensively as they turned away 12 other attempts with five saves by
Logan Neves (Jr., Fredericksburg, Pa. / Colonial Forge) to keep the Blue and White in the game.
