MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg's men's soccer team was no match for an scrappy Shenandoah squad in a 3-0 setback on Wednesday night, Sept. 18. 

The Hornets (5-2-1) proved the aggressors from the outset and eventually struck first when Nathan Yared converted a penalty kick in the 22nd minute. The visitors doubled the advantage less than a minute later when Jarbin Rodriguez ripped home a goal from distance following a corner kick insertion just 53 seconds after the game's initial score.

The Lions (4-3-1) remained within striking distance well into the second half but a late push by SU led to an insurance marker when Chinedu Ikem found the back of the net in the 75th minute. 

NOTABLES

- Shenandoah outshot the Lions 18-5 overall and 10-1 in shots on goal.

- Each team earned six corner kicks on the night.

- Tai Bhalla accounted for Penn State Harrisburg's lone shot on frame.

- Goalkeeper Hossam Aly made a season-high seven saves in net for the Lions.

WHO'S NEXT?

The Lions take to the road on Saturday night to face a Messiah squad receiving votes in the latest national rankings.
