Inside the Box Score

How it Happened

• Freshman Trenton Shetler (Waynesboro, Pa. / Waynesboro Area) won the ball back in the offensive third of the field and fired a rocket at the 47:55 mark to put PSUMA up 2-0.
• Patrick Henry College got themselves back into the match with a Micha Bock unassisted goal in the 63^rd minute.
