Behrend Men Earn Sixth League Victory in a 3-0 Final Over Hilbert
The Penn State Behrend men's soccer team entered today's contest having won four of its last five games.
It did not take long for the blue and white to get on the scoreboard
in the Wednesday afternoon AMCC contest against the Hilbert Hawks.
Behrend's Philip Broadus (Pittsburgh/Allderdice) was fouled hard and
awarded a penalty kick five minutes into the match. Broadus had to
leave the game, but sophomore Josh Teti (Mckeesport/Elizabeth Foward)
found the back of the net to put Behrend up 1-0, and Teti was just
getting started.
Teti then connected off a nice pass from Brian Bodnar
(Murrysville/Franklin Regional) at 30:23 to create a 2-0 gap.
Then sophomore forward Ryan Banks (Allison Park/Hampton) added
another goal off a sweet pass from Teti as the first half wound down
with Behrend holding a 3-0 advantage all the way to the finish line.
With the victory,
Behrend moved to 10-6 overall and 6-1 in the conference, while
Hilbert fell to 5-10 and 2-5 in the AMCC.
The blue and white will continue its home stand welcoming Penn State
Altoona (4-8-4, 4-2-1) to the Behrend Fields on Saturday, October
22, at 3:00 p.m. Then on Wednesday, October 28, the Medaille
Mavericks (10-5, 6-0) will travel to Erie for another key AMCC
match-up.
