New Kensington, Pa. - Through 90 minutes of hard-fought action, the Penn State Greater Allegheny men's soccer team overcame the Penn State University Athletic Conference foe, Penn State New Kensington, by a tally of 3-1.

Sophomore goalkeeper Alex Wood (Rockville, Md./St. John's College High) stopped nine shots through the triumph, letting up just one through 90 minutes. With the win, Wood solidifies his third win of the year as goaltender.
