Behrend Wins AMCC Championship

Penn State Behrend won their fourth consecutive AMCC Championship this past Saturday against Pitt-Bradford. Although Pitt-Bradford drew first blood, the Lions would answer and take home their fourth consecutive AMCC trophy.

It was a cold brisk Saturday afternoon as Penn State Behrend and Pitt-Bradford set out to battle for the AMCC Championship. The game started in Pitt-Bradford's favor with a shot that hit the PSB crossbar only 10 minutes into play. Pitt-Bradford would keep up the pressure by playing physical and direct. Penn State Behrend would match their intensity with a few chances on goal and ball control throughout the first half. Nerves and adrenaline in the first half caused both teams to play physical which ultimately led to a Pitt-Bradford goal redirected from a corner kick late in the first half. Two minutes following Pitt-Bradford's goal, PSB would answer when Ally Lonas's shot found the back of the net. Lonas's goal would keep the game at a 1-1 standstill heading into halftime. 

The second half was very unorganized but PSB manged the game well. Maddie Monte, Caroline Mashyna, Rachel Weyand and Kiley Ransbury kept Pitt-Bradford to zero shots on goal in the second half giving the Lions momentum heading into overtime. It only took the Lions five minutes into overtime to secure the AMCC Championship. Alex Bilka would thread a pass to a sprinting Olivia Belack. Belack would skin one defender and put the breakaway goal past Pitt-Bradford keeper to take home the AMCC trophy.
