NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Valerie Wagner (Pittsburgh, PA/Montour) scored the game-winning goal in the 55th minute to lead the Penn State Behrend women's soccer team to a 1-0 decision over Westminster on Saturday afternoon.
The victory marks the Lions' (4-3) second straight for their first winning streak of the season. Sam Vasy (North Huntingdon, PA/Norwin) assisted Wagner on her third goal in two games. Heather Klimuszka (Rochester, NY/Greece Athena) started in goal, making four saves before Robin Siegenthaler (Penns Valley, PA/Penns Valley)came in with 27 minutes left and recorded five saves.

After a scoreless first half, Vasy found Wagner at the 54:45 mark to go ahead 1-0 and the defense helped keep Westminster off the board.
