READING, PA. - The Albright women's soccer team (3-6-1) was in action at home on Saturday afternoon for their second straight home game against nationally ranked No. 5 Messiah (7-2). The Falcons won today's game by a final score of 2-0.

Despite the 2-0 halftime deficit, McKenna LeVan was great in net making seven first half saves to keep the game close.

Messiah kept the pressure on in the second half but could not find the back of the net due in large part to the stingy Lions defense. LeVan made seven more saves in the second half.

For LeVan the 14 saves in tonight's game is a new career high for the Junior goalkeeper. Tonight's game marks the second game for LeVan this year making double digit saves. In the game against Rutgers-Camden LeVan made 12 saves.
