Men's Soccer Posts Second Straight Shutout In Win Over Gallaudet

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Penn State Harrisburg's men's soccer team secured its second conference shutout victory in as many nights with an 8-0 victory over United East foe Gallaudet at the college's multipurpose turf complex on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21.


Addis Tafese recorded his second game-winning goal of the season. Liam Gohn and Aidan McWilliams netted two markers apiece, while Parker Christina and Cade Upson each converted their first goal of the fall.


After pressuring the Bison (1-12, 1-6 United East) for much of the opening half, Tafese got the scoring started with a strike off a feed from William Kim in the 20th minute and Penn State Harrisburg (8-6-2, 6-0-1 United East) never looked back. McWilliams doubled the advantage with his first goal of the game just 35 seconds later and Gohn converted the first of his pair of markers on a penalty kick in the 31st minute. He followed it up with another strike seven minutes later to make it 4-0 heading into halftime.


The Lions stayed aggressive after the break, with McWilliams finishing off a find from Andres Cantillo just 3:30 into the second half. After a lengthy scoring lull, Penn State Harrisburg finished strong with three goals in the game's final eight minutes. Christina made it 6-0 in the 82nd minute, Nitson Mboua added a marker four minutes later and Upson capped the scoring off a corner kick insertion from Alexander Benbatoul with 1:27 left to play.
