The keeper did well to save the initial attempt by Villamil, but the forward slotted home the rebounded shot for his first goal of the season.

In the second half Jose Palomeque (Upper Dublin, PA) placed a beautiful shot that tucked inside the far post to give the Nittany Lions a commanding 3-1 lead.  Abington's defense was rock solid in the second half only allowing two more shots to Penn State Berks.
