Unionville, PA -- Penn State Beaver played their first conference home game today against Penn State Hazelton, and it was a very intense and physical one. Beaver had chances in the first half to score but didn't connect on any of the shots. Hazelton scored first at the 39:38 to lead the half 1-0.
In the second half Hazelton still had the momentum on their side, scoring another goal at 50:11 making the game a two goal difference. Hazelton had a handball in the penalty box, which resulted in freshman Dom DeMino (Moon Township, PA/OLSH) scoring on a penalty kick at 54:03, to give Beaver the momentum. At 69:07 sophomore Marcus Smith (Pittsburgh, PA/Perry) flicked the ball to Dom DeMino which led to a goal at 69:07. The game remained a nail biter while both teams continued to battle. At the end of the regulation time it was 2-2 so it was time for OT.
Overtime was intense, a foul got called about 30 yards out for a free kick, once the free kick was played freshman Logan Ridley (Fombell, PA/Riverside) kicked the ball as it rolled slowly and Freshman Lamont Wright (Pittsburgh, PA/Penn Hills) scored his first goal of the year in OT to take the win over Hazelton.
