Nittany Lions clinch regular-season title

READING, PA (October 19, 2013) - The Penn State Berks women's soccer team defeated Keuka College 5-0 in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest on Saturday afternoon.

The Nittany Lions improve to 13-3-1 overall and 10-0 in the conference, while Keuka falls to 7-4-1 on the season and 7-4-1 in the NEAC.

Cristen French got the offense going with a goal at the 22:20 mark of the first half. Dana Sarcinello played a through ball that French took a couple touches and slotted home far post. Jen Kessler tallied a goal in the 26th minute with a blast from 20-yards out over the keeper's head.

Berks continued the offensive push in the second half with a strong effort from French. The sophomore forward worked through the defense and fired off a shot that was stopped by the keeper. French then drilled the rebound into the back corner for her second goal of the afternoon. Amanda Garber headed in a goal in the 68th minute after Kessler provided a pass from the outside. Taylor Schwartz sent a perfect pass over the defense that Sarcinello touch one touch on and chipped over the keeper's head to cap off the scoring.

Savannah Cramer recorded two saves and Sarah Elmontacir had one as the duo combined on the eighth shutout of the season. The defensive unit of Melissa Bennett, Emily Rumpf, Katie Warner, and Lizzie Mummau kept the Keuka offensive attack silent all game.

Berks outshot the Storm by a 38-3 margin and held a 10-0 advantage on corner kicks.

The men's and women's teams hosted their second annual Pink Game fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. The two teams combined to raise $249.56 which will benefit the Breast Cancer Support Services of Berks County this afternoon.

The Nittany Lions will finish off the regular season when they host Wells College on Saturday, October 20 at 2 p.m.
