ALTOONA, PA. - Host Penn State-Altoona scored the game-winning goal at the 73:17 mark in regulation to defeat the Saint Vincent women's soccer team Tuesday evening.

The first half ended scoreless. The Bearcats and the Nittany Lions tallied a total of 10 shots in the first half (five apiece).

Much of the second half proved to be an evenly played defensive battle, but Penn State-Altoona pulled ahead as Mallorie Smith scored at the 73:17 mark, to make it 1-0. The Bearcats were unable to capitalize on any scoring chances over the final seven minutes of regulation and the Nittany Lions held on for the win.

Kylie Albertson led both sides with four shots, while teammate Brianna Mack and Tanisha Grewal had two attempts apiece. Kendall Castor played the full 90 minutes, saving seven out of eight attempts on net.

The Bearcats will return to action on Friday, Sept. 17, when they welcome La Roche University to the UPMC Field turf for a 4 p.m. matchup.
