Women's Soccer Remains Undefeated in Conference Play

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg's women's soccer team earned a convincing 5-0 conference victory over Penn State Brandywine on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10.

Penn State Harrisburg kept the pressure on the hosts, with Sgrignioli forcing Jasmin Alvarez to make a save before halftime.
