MONT ALTO, Pa. – The Penn State Mont Alto men's soccer team suffered a 1-0 overtime loss in a Penn State University Athletic Conference home match on Saturday afternoon against PSU Lehigh Valley.

The team's also held a silent auction all afternoon long where $1,080 was donated to the Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance.
Inside the Box Score

- Mont Alto had more corner kick opportunities with six compared to Lehigh Valley's three and Nittany Lions keeper Austin Moore (Brockway, Pa. / Brockway Area) recorded seven saves.
How it Happened
- PSU Lehigh Valley scored the game-winner just over a minute into the overtime period. Goalkeeper Austin Moore (Brockway, Pa. / Brockway Area) guessed right and made an outstanding save on a penalty kick, but the ensuing rebound went off a PSUMA defender and into the back of the net to give the visitors the win.
- Both teams had shots of claiming victory within regulation and especially within the second half. In the 82nd minute, Joao Pedro (Sorocaba, Brazil / Colegio Uirapuru) had a curling free kick attempted saved by a sprawled out Trevor Rockwell. Lehigh Valley's David Reagan also hit the crossbar in the 88th minute.
