No. 23 Women's Soccer Falters at Susquehanna

SELINSGROVE, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg's women's soccer team fell to Susquehanna in a non-conference match on Wednesday night, Sept. 9.


The Lions (0-2-1) created four first-half shots, forcing River Hawks' goalkeeper Katie Henchy to make a trio of saves. Ella Shirk took the visitors' first attempt in the fourth minute before Susquehanna (3-0) netted the first goal of the night when Amelia Kopp sent one past Sydney Mulka. Nearly 11 minutes later, Olivia St. Amand put the home team up 2-0 thanks to an assist from Ava Billmeyer. Janae Swartz put Penn State Harrisburg's first shot on frame, however the River Hawks ended up adding another marker just over a minute later. Mulka made a pair of saves in the half, while Teagan Paragon twice tested Henchy late.


Although Susquehanna was up by three at halftime, Kylie Yap gave the visitors some life at the 64th minute, converting a penalty kick to bring the score a bit closer 3-1. Earlier, the Lions had generated four shots and a corner, with Shirk forcing a save, and Abigail Mahaffey and Evalyn Stoner adding attempts of their own. The visitors then faced a River Hawks response that included a corner and three shots in a 17-second span, and eventually the home team added one more goal 68 minutes in. Penn State Harrisburg continued to create chances late, earning a corner before Mahaffey put a shot on frame, but the contest ended 4-1 in favor of Susquehanna.
