Box Score ST. DAVID'S, Pa. - The Penn State Abington men's soccer squad suffered a tough defeat at the hands of the Eagles of Eastern University earlier this afternoon.

The Eagles (13-3-1, 4-1-1 MAC) got their first two goals within the first 20 minutes of the match.

Sophomore goalkeeper James Carlin did his best to keep the Nittany Lions in the game, making eight saves total on the afternoon.
