AURORA N.Y. - The Penn State Abington men's soccer team desperately needed a victory Sunday in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately, the Nittany Lions fell just short losing to Wells College 2-1 in overtime.

Just like Saturday's game against Keuka, Abington scored the first goal of the game Sunday. Robert Ziegler (Norristown, Pa.) would give Penn State Abington a 1-0 lead in the 34^th minute. Juan Martinez collected an assist on the play.

Abington played well in the first half and took a 1-0 lead into the locker rooms after the first 45 minutes.

The Blue and White continued their strong play in the second half generating multiple scoring chances throughout. Juan Martinez and Alex Martins (Philadelphia, Pa.) both had chances in the 68^th and 69^th respectively to give Abington a 2-0 lead, but were stopped by Wells goalkeeper Michael Sciotti.

Those chances would come back to haunt Abington as Wells would respond with some offense of their own in the 71^st minute. J. Tyler Adams received a cross pass from Nicholas Constantino, and buried the ball behind Dan Saint-Pol (Perkasie, Pa.) to knot the game up at 1-1.

The game would head to overtime where the Express would take the 2-1 lead in the 90^th minute. Max Cherry fed Hunter Sowersby with a nice pass, and Sowersby roofed the ball over Saint-Pol's head into the net.

Abington outshot Wells 12-10 for the game despite coming out on the wrong side of scoreboard.   

With the loss, the Nittany Lions record now stands at 2-7-4 on the season (2-3-3 NEAC). They will return to action next Sunday October 19, at 2:00 p.m. when they travel to Williamsport, Pa. to square off against Penn College.
