A Quick Look
The visiting Nittany Lions of Penn State Harrisburg made the most of its limited opportunities today in defeating SUNY Oneonta 2-0 in women's soccer action at Red Dragon Field.  The win for Penn State raised its record to 2-1-1 overall while the Red Dragons fell to 0-4.
 
The Inside Story
The Nittany Lions managed only four shots in the match but made two of them count in the second half enroute to the win.
 
After a scoreless opening half of play, it was Eden Haldeman that gave Penn State a 1-0 lead in the 48^th minute.  Haldeman was in the right place to collect a deflected ball at the top of the box and didn't waste any time in taking a shot on the volley up high.  The Oneonta keeper got her hand on it but couldn't deflect it over the goal and the ball landed in the net.
 
Fifteen minutes later, Rhyan Socash raced by a couple of defenders and into the box where she beat the keeper inside the left post.
