THE SKINNY
McDaniel scored twice in the first 28 minutes of its NCAA tournament first-round game and the defense took over from there to top Penn State-Harrisburg, 2-0.

THE LEADERS
• Hannah Schepers (Port Deposit, Md./St. Mark's) staked the Green Terror to a 1-0 lead with a shot from deep.

THE REST OF THE STORY
