Soccer Teams Split in Doubleheader

October 15th, 2008

Wednesday´s doubleheader featured the men´s soccer team against the Chargers of Lancaster Bible College and the women´s soccer team against the Crusaders of Susquehanna University.

With the Chargers coming in the contest with a solid record of 10-3-1, the Nittany Lions looked to step up their efforts and pull out a victory. This game was a one sided fight from start to finish with the blue and white out shooting the Chargers 32 to 9. Although the Lions had 12 shots on goal they were only able to put one in the net in the 60th minute off the foot of Joshua Christ (Living Word Academy/Ephrata, PA) assisted by Nick Slatt(Central Dauphin/Harrisburg, PA). The Nittany Lions improve to 6-6 on the season with their next contest coming at home on Monday October 20th versus Delaware Valley College.

In the night game the Lady Lions went head to head against a very tough Landmark Conference opponent, the Susquehanna University Crusaders. This game was as uneven as the men´s game but not in the Lion´s favor. The Lady Lions were outscored 21 to 6 and gave up two goals in the first half and one in the second. With this lost the Lady Lions are now 4-7 on the season with their next game coming on Saturday October 18th against Albright College in Reading, PA.
