AURORA, N.Y. – Penn State Harrisburg's men's soccer team remained undefeated in conference play thanks to a decisive 12-0 victory over United East foe Wells on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 15. 

Ben Stuckert was the star of the show, recording his first career hat trick thanks to a game-high three markers to go along with one assist. In addition to Stuckert, nine other Penn State Harrisburg players found the back of the net on Saturday. 

Incredibly, Stuckert netted all three of his goals in a row during a span of just 1:24 just moments before halftime. Ethan Cortes converted the game winner in the third minute, while Kobe Harris, Tyler Madairy, Daryl Lucas, and Anson Portzline added first half markers. 

The Lions (7-2-6, 4-0-2) kept the pressure on after the break, with Alexander Bentaboul, Josh Rodgers, and Jonathan Ruiz going back-to-back-back over a 2:50 span midway through the second half before Harrison Shaller put a bow on the game's scoring with a strike in the final minute.
