HAVERFORD, Pa: After needing penalty kicks on Saturday to advance to today's championship game, Arcadia University Women's Soccer scored four unanswered goals, allowing just 9 shots to Wilkes University as the Knights defeated the Colonels 4-0 to win the Haverford College Kickoff Classic championship. Sophomore Sara Volk-Perez scored twice for the Knights who improve to 2-0-1.

11 of Arcadia's 20 shots found their way to the Wilkes net, while the Knights also generated more corner opportunities at 6-1, scoring on one of those when senior Amy Lupfer (Andover, NJ/Newton) made it 1-0 Arcadia in the 9th minute of play.
