Lions Fall to Defending Champs

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Penn State Behrend men's soccer team fell to defending Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) champion Medaille on Tuesday evening, 2-1.

George Tor's goal off a penatly kick early in the second half was enough for the Mavericks to win the rematch of last year's AMCC championship game.

The Lions (3-5-1, 1-1 AMCC) got on the board first late in the opening half.  Eric Vunovic (North Huntingdon, PA/Norwin) found Jake Gamble (Butler, PA/Butler) who was able to net his team leading seventh goal of the season.  Behrend's 1-0 lead wouldn't last long as Medaille's Alexander Rouse knotted the game at 1-all barely a minute later.  

As the second half began, the Mavericks were able to strike quick.  Just under five minutes into the second period, Tor was granted a penatly kick.  Tor beat the goalkeeper for what would be the game winner.  The final 40 minutes remained scoreless leading to a 2-1 Medaille victory.

The Lions will be back in action on Saturday as they travel to Pitt-Greensburg for their third AMCC match.  Game time is 1 p.m.
