Mont Alto, PA – Penn State Beaver Men's Soccer traveled to Penn State Mont Alto in a PSUAC conference match. Both teams enter the match at 3-3 in the conference and hope to end the match at 4-3.
The first half of the game showed just how important this game was. Neither team wanted to make the first big mistake and give up the first goal. The teams played to a stalemate until Beaver's Chih Hsu (Tainan City, Taiwan) scored in the 43rd minute just before halftime. Getting the go-ahead goal before halftime was huge for Beaver since they were able to come out in the second half and not have to press for a goal. They sat back and defended very well and took counterattack opportunities to keep Mont Alto's defense honest. Mont Alto pushed hard for an equalizer but left some room open behind their defense and Beaver took that chance to extend their lead to 2-0 with 20 minutes left to play. Beaver defense continued to stand tall and did not allow Mont Alto to get back into the game. With 2 minutes left in the game Beaver scored a 3rd goal to seal the shutout win on the road.
Penn State Beaver Men's Soccer hits the road again to play their next conference match against Penn State York on October 20th at 12:00pm.
