Box Score Baltimore, Md. – The Penn State Abington women's soccer squad earned their second straight 7-0 win earlier this afternoon, and they used a big day from junior forward

Penn State Abington (5-1, 2-0 NEAC) got things rolling early with a goal from
Molly Wyman. The freshman from Abington, Pa. briefly took the team lead with her fifth goal of the season. Then, the match turned into the
Mallory Mugnier show. The junior netted the next three goals for the squad over the first 50 minutes of the match to give the Nittany Lions a commanding 4-0 lead. Not to be outdone, a number of other teammates contributed to the dominating effort. Wyman assisted on two of Mugnier's goals and
Victoria Parker on the other before
Cindy Wade and
Ashlee Kohn scored goals of their own to make it a 6-0 game. Meanwhile, the Penn State Abington defense put in a strong day's work themselves, holding Notre Dame (2-3, 0-0 CSAC) to just four shots on goal. Senior goalkeeper
Alyssa Kaye stopped everything she saw, earning her fifth win and fourth shutout of the year. In the 79
th minute, Mugnier capped off her spectacular effort with one final goal, giving her a fourth of the day, a new record for goals scored in a single game at Penn State Abington. It was also her seventh goal of this young season, giving her the team lead in that category.
