WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.- The Juniata men's soccer team emerged with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Penn College, Tuesday evening at UPMC Field.
The first half was a back-and-forth affair as the Wildcats held a narrow 6-5 advantage in shots, and each team managed three corners in the first half.
Nicholas Sinapius (Phoenixville, Pa. / Phoenixville) provided the sole goal of the game in the 34th minute. Emmet Young (Swarthmore, PA / Strath Haven) tapped a ball out of the air towards Sinapius, who brought the ball down with his chest at the top of the 18 before smashing the ball into the top left corner.
