As a New Year resolution for 2013, we are working at keeping our blog updated more regularly. 

These pictures of the field are a few months old now but they show they excellent playing facilities that Penn State Behrend offers its soccer athletes!!

We will have a few home night games in 2013 and it will be great to play under the lights!!

The nice part is we still have a new bathroom/concession stand complex to be added this fall. 

AMCC Championship Game 2012

This is footage from our 2012 AMCC Championship victory over a strong Pitt-Bradford team.
After being 1-0 down in the first half the team rallied to tie the game 1-1 before half time with a nice goal from Julia Schroeck after a great run from Valerie Wagner. No more goals were scored until the second overtime when Melissa Huff capped off an excellent freshmen year by scoring the game-winning goal giving Behrend our second AMCC Championship in two years and our eighth overall.
