How It Happened
 
* Abington scored two early goals in the opening half to hold the advantage at 2-0 through halftime.  The team's first goal came in the fifth minute of action when sophomore Arsene Bado scored his seventh goal of the season off an assist from fellow sophomore Louie Lare. Abington doubled its lead in the 21st minute when a long pass through the field from sophomore Benell Saygarn found Agolli for the first of his two goals on the day. 
 
* Wells opened the scoring in the opening minutes of the second half when Marco Derlly made it a 2-1 game with his second goal of the season.  The score remained that way until the 86th minute when John Castaneda scored off a corner kick attempt to tie the game at 2-2.
 
* After back-to-back corner kicks in the 88th minute, a foul inside the box by the Express gave the Nittany Lions the break they needed.  Agolli went on and converted the penalty kick to regain the lead as Abington held on the final minutes for the win.
