Men's Soccer Digs Deep and Comes From Behind to Beat Mont Alto

Men's Soccer Digs Deep and Comes From Behind to Beat Mont Alto

(McKeesport, PA)

A nil-nil first half was only the appetizer to what would be a wild second half on Wednesday's men's soccer game between Penn State Mont Alto and Penn State Greater Allegheny.

Mont Alto went ahead very early in the 2nd half on a set piece score to make it 1-0. 

Stuart Dare (Mifflintown, PA/ Juniata HS) found the back of the net to equalize at 1-1 a few minutes later.

Mont Alto kept pushing and a 2nd set piece goal resulted in them taking the lead 2-1 with about 20 minutes to play.

Dare again came up big and scored his second goal of the match to make it 2-2.

With about 5 minutes to play, GA found the game winner on an assist by Dare to TJ Knutson (Wausau, WI/ DC Everest HS).

GA sits in 5th in the PSUAC playoff race and 11th in the USCAA with 2 regular season games remaining at Penn State Fayette and home vs Penn State Wilkes - Barre.
