PHILADELPHIA - The Wells College women's soccer team battled the Nittany Lions of Penn St.-Abington to a 2-0 loss Saturday afternoon.

After a scoreless first half, Mallory Mugnier scored her 11th goal of the season in the game's 54th minute to place Penn St.-Abington in the lead for good. A cross by the Nittany Lions was cut off by Wells goalkeeper Olivia Baum (Summerville, S.C.), but the rebound was force home by Mugnier for the eventual game-winning goal.
