The Lancaster Bible College women's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to three on Saturday, as the Chargers and Penn St. Abington played 110 minutes of scoreless soccer in Abington, Pa. The tie moves the Chargers to 2-3-1 overall and 1-1-1 in North Eastern Athletic Conference play, while the Nittany Lions are now 2-3-2 overall and 1-2-1 in NEAC action.

Game Recap: Lancaster Bible recorded the game's first three shots and corner kick over the opening 25 minutes of play, but came up empty on the scoreboard with each attempt. After Penn St. Abington's first shot of the game, the Chargers continued to pepper Nittany Lions' goalkeeper Sam Friend, but she was up to the task with four saves in the opening half, as the Chargers had eight shots at the target and four on goal.

The trend continued in the second half as well, as Kayla Hubbard had two early shots that were saved by Friend. Neither team could get much offense going in the second 45 minutes, though it was the Chargers who had the opportunities, outshooting the Nittany Lions, 5-1 in the second half.

Penn St. Abington's offense woke up in the first overtime, as they took four shots, but the two that were on frame were saved by Lancaster Bible goalkeeper Erin Mikula, who made her second straight start. 

The Charges outshot the Nittany Lions, 2-1 in the second overtime, as Hubbard's shot went wide, and senior Maddie Dionne's chance was gobbled up by Friend. Neither team could create the late game-winning goal in the final minutes, and the Chargers secured their first tie of the season.
