How It Happened
 
* Abington tallied the game's first goal which so happened came off the foot of Alsibae who connected on his first collegiate goal on Senior Day.  Freshman Tony Colon fed Alsibae the ball for the score in the 20th minute.
 
* The score remained 1-0 in favor of the Nittany Lions until the second half.  Sophomore Arsene Bado tallied his ninth goal of the season in the opening minutes of the half to double the lead at 2-0.  Colon was credited with the assist; his second of the game.
 
* Sophomore Eljo Agolli made it 3-0 with his ninth goal of the season in the 54th minute.  A pass thru the defense by sophomore JT Stone found Bado and in turn flipped it to Agolli for the score.  Bado would go on to score his second goal of the game and 10th of the season in the 66th minute with junior Connor Lines setting up the play.
 
* The Nittany Lions capped the scoring in story book fashion in the final minute.  After Alsibae jump started the scoring on the day, it was Leiby who closed out the scoring as he converted a penalty kick with :53 seconds remaining for his first career goal.
