LYCOMING MEN’S SOCCER PLAYS WELL, COMES UP SHORT AT PENN STATE-ALTOONA

ALTOONA, PA – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team took a break from their conference schedule to travel to Penn State-Altoona, Wednesday afternoon. The Warriors played well but could not find the back of the net, eventually falling to the Lions 1-0. Lycoming falls to 4-5-2 overall. Penn State-Altoona improves to 6-1-2.

The two teams played scoreless for nearly 84 minutes before Jared Bucher lifted a ball over the head of the Warriors’ goalkeeper with just more than six minutes to play for the 1-0 victory.

Jason Fesler (So./Carlisle, PA; Cumberland Valley) made 14 saves in goal for Lycoming.

“We played extremely well today against a very good team,” said head coach Scott Kennell. “Despite the outcome, this game was a tremendous positive for our team. Penn State-Altoona is one of the best teams in the region, but we played up to our potential and stayed with them the entire game. Today was an indication of what this young team can do as they continue to improve this season and in years to come.”

The Warriors return to conference competition on Saturday, October 5, when they host Delaware Valley College. The match is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
