MORRISVILLE, NY. – The Penn State Abington women's lacrosse team traveled to Morrisville State and fell to the Mustangs 17-5 on Saturday afternoon.

The Nittany Lions drop to 2-8 overall and 1-4 in the North Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Mustangs were first on the board with three consecutive goals in the first five minutes. Momentum shifted to the Nittany Lions when Michaela Mast (Pottstown, Pa.) took advantage of being a man up, with a goal with twenty minutes in the half.  A goal from Chasidy McLaurin (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Mallory Mugnier (Abington, Pa.) knotted the game to a 3-3 tie. Morrisville State pulled ahead with ten unanswered goals before halftime.

Abington tightened up its defense in the second half and only allowed four goals. Mugnier and Mast each added goals in the final minutes of the game, but it wasn't enough.

Abington continues its road trip when they travel to Cazenovia College tomorrow afternoon at noon.
