ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg's women's soccer team earned their first win of the young season in a 1-0 decision over Muhlenberg on Wednesday night, Sept. 4.   

Although both teams went scoreless in the first half, the Lions (1-1-1) dominated the beginning frame with 11 total shots, four of which were on target. The away team also earned seven corners compared to Muhlenberg's three. 

It only took just about three minutes into the second half for Penn State Harrisburg's Ava Myers to find the back of the net to mark her first career goal and to put the Blue & White up by one. The marker, assisted by Julia Hughes, proved to be enough to earn the victory for the Lions as they continued to put pressure on the Mules' back line until the final buzzer. 

Penn State Harrisburg's defense never lacked, as they didn't allow a single shot on goal for the entirety of the match. 

NOTABLES 

- The Lions topped the home team in all major categories, with 26 shots, 14 shots on goal, and eight corner attempts. 

- Myers' marker in the 47th minute was her first goal in a Penn State Harrisburg uniform. 

- Muhlenberg's goalkeeper Megan Stairs tallied 13 saves on the night.

- The Mules are the second Centennial Conference opponent the Lions have faced this year.
