HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata men's soccer team fell to Penn College, 3-0, in nonconference action on a rainy Wednesday evening at Gibbel Stadium.

In the 8^th minute, Jacob Grove (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) played quick give and go with Wyatt Page (King of Prussia, Pa./Shipley) playing him in on goal. Grove's shot was deflected by the keeper, Kovach got to the ball and blasted it back towards net but a Penn College defender blocked it.

Juniata continued to battle, and with three minutes remaining in the half Jarrod Gibson (Abington, Pa./Abington) curled a shot towards goal but the Wildcat keeper managed to stop it. Juniata went into the half trailing 2-0.

Four minutes into the second half, Page played in a free kick from the left side low and towards the far post that Charlie Jones (Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) got a head to put it went wide of the net.

Later on in the 66^th minute, Michael Realbuto (Collegeville, Pa./Methacton) received the ball at the 18 from the right side, turned, and played Kovach in on goal but his shot flew over the crossbar. In the 72^nd minute, Matt Matylewicz (York, Pa./Central York) rose above the scrum on a corner and headed the ball towards goal but it went just over the crossbar. In the 87^th minute, the Wildcats scored on an Eagle error to push their lead to 3-0.
