How It Happened

* One of those 14 first half shots finally found the back of the net in the 29th minute as sophomore Meghan McGinly connected on her team-leading fifth goal of the season to break the scoreless tie.  Junior Nayeska Ravelo and sophomore Kaitlyn Frank were credited with assists on the score.
 
* Abington nearly doubled its lead before the half was over.  In the 41st minute back-to-back shots by sophomore Ice Longenbach and McGinly were stopped keeping the score at 1-0 heading into halftime.
 
* The Nittany Lions increased their lead to 2-0 late in the second half.  Frank scored an unassisted goal in the 69th minute marking her fourth goal of the season.
