How It Happened
 
* The Nittany Lions jumped on the board minutes into the first half when sophomore Nayeska Ravelo took advantage of a rebounded ball that hit off a defender.  Ravelo was able to get a wide-open shot off that found the back of the net for her first goal of the season. 
 
* Abington maintained the 1-0 lead the rest of the half despite the Cannoneers outshooting the Nittany Lions, 7-3.  Senior goalkeeper Rachel Wilfrid made three saves in the half.
 
* Pratt tied the game in the 65th minute when Emma Pratt fired a shot from about 30-yards out for second goal of the season. 
 
* The Nittany Lions regained the lead in the 80th minute thanks to a score by junior Amanda Armstrong.  It marked her first score of the season as Abington led 2-1 with just over 10 minutes to play.  Freshman Kaitlyn Frank was credited with the assist on the score; her second of the season.
