Men’s soccer rallied up the defense and tallied up the goals this week, winning against Penn State – Greater Allegheny (PSUGA).

Point Park scored four goals in the first half and one in the second, while PSUGA failed to make the ball meet the net.

The Pioneers’ first goal was driven by junior defenseman Yuki Takeda with no assists; the second goal was also unassisted, scored by freshman forward Abel van Beest.

Later in the half, the Pioneers picked up another goal when freshman midfielder Lorenzo Diaz scored from an assist by freshman midfielder Ndayisenga Emmanuel.

In the 41st minute, a fourth goal was scored by sophomore midfielder Geert Bijl.

PSUGA didn’t have much luck in the second half either, with Point Park’s Jonathan Roos scoring off an assist from freshman midfielder Maximilian Grunis, making the score five to zero.

The Pioneers played a game of dominance, out-shooting Penn State 31-5, with 17 of those shots being on goal.

Point Park plays next on Thursday, opening up River States Conference play at Brescia.
