MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Kyla Brossoit played the role of hero in Penn State Harrisburg women's soccer's third consecutive victory; this time a thrilling 1-0 decision over a scrappy Albright squad on Wednesday night, Sept. 14.
With the closing minutes of the second half ticking away and no scoring to speak of, Brossoit changed all that with what proved to be the eventual game-winning strike in the game's 84th minute. Following a Sydney Hemler throw in, Mackenzie Mowery corralled the ball and made a pretty move to split a pair of defenders near the box before finding Brossoit in front for a quick finish past Albright goalkeeper Alexis Solt with just 5:52 left to play.
