Men's soccer falls to Alvernia in home opener

READING, PA - The Penn State Berks men's soccer team had trouble finding a rhythm and when they did were not able to find the back of the net in a 2-0 setback to Alvernia University in a non-conference contest on Friday evening.

The Golden Wolves (2-2) broke through with a goal in the 30th minute when Ayinde Cole put home a header into the far back corner. The score remained that way until the 52nd minute off a chip by Jay Ringer that was mishandled and slipped into the net.

The best scoring opportunity for the Nittany Lions (1-2) came at the 65:03 mark when Manny Zavala got off a line drive, but Alvernia keeper Zach Rider made a leaping catch to continue the shutout.

For the match, Gerardo Sosa made one save and Jose Aparicio had five stops for Berks, while Rider saved both shots on target.

The Nittany Lions return to action with a non-conference home contest against John Jay College on Saturday, September 9 at 5 p.m.
