Game Recap: Lancaster Bible held the lethal Penn St. Berks offense off the scoreboard for the opening 22 minutes of the game, but senior Caitlin Golden got free down the right-hand side at 22:48, and drilled a shot into the upper part of the net to put the Nittany Lions in front, 1-0.

Less than three minutes later, Monica Pinel took a crossing pass and headed the ball off the left post and into the back of the net to double Penn St. Berks' lead.

With just over four minutes remaining in the half, Alexis Schoener took a pass off a corner kick, and headed the ball through traffic and into the net to give the Nittany Lions a 3-0 lead they would take into halftime.

Much of the second half was played through the midfield, though Lancaster Bible goalkeeper Rheeana Miles made a handful of nice saves for the Chargers. With just over six minutes remaining, Penn St. Berks junior Charlotte Pizzuto made it 4-0 in favor of the Nittany Lions, as she took a crossing pass from Golden, and scored her first goal of the year.
