MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg's women's soccer team put up a season-high goal total in a convincing 10-0 conference win over United East foe Gallaudet on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 8. 

 

The Lions (7-3-3, 4-0-1 United East) saw eight different players score on the day, with Mackenzie Mowery and Sydney Armstrong each registering two goals. Abigail Frew recorded multiple points thanks to a marker and an assist, while Makayla Grace Weber added a pair of helpers. 

 

Mowery got the scoring started with her first goal of the day in the fourth minute and Frew wasted little time adding to the advantage with a marker of her own three minutes later. Sarah Toche-Manley got into the scoring action with a goal in the 12th minute and Sydney Hemler followed it up with another less than two minutes later off a corner kick from Weber. 

 

Mowery added her second score in the 15th minute off a Frew feed, Isabelle Toni finished off a Kyla Brossoit find four minutes later, and Hannah Wheeler headed one home off another assist from Weber in the 24th minute. Sophia Meller found the back of the net off an Olivia Inch helper in the 28th minute and Armstrong netted back-to-back markers to close out the half.
