Penn State-Harrisburg 4, Delaware Valley College 3

DOYLESTOWN (PA) -- Matt Christman scored with just 2:52 remaining to lift Penn State-Harrisburg to a 4-3 victory over host Delaware Valley College in a non-conference game.

After a wild first-half that featured a combined six goals, neither team could find the net in the second stanza and overtime loomed. However, Christman took a feed from Jun Karube and beat Aggie goalkeeper Nick D'Amato in the closing minutes to give the Nittany Lions their fourth win of the year (4-5-1). The loss dropped Delaware Valley to 2-9 on the season.

The Aggies' Andrew Kelley and Penn State-Harrisburg's Danny Francis put on an offensive display in the first half as Kelley had two goals and an assist while Francis notched all three Nittany Lion tallies. Kelly started the scoring 4:41 into the contest off an assist from Eric Maciag, but Francis tied the game seven minutes later with an unassisted goal.

Kelly and Maciag teamed up again to regain the lead for Delaware Valley with 16:12 left in the half. However, Francis scored goals with 14:18 and 1:45 remaining before the intermission for a 3-2 Penn State-Harrisburg advantage. The Aggies then tied the game with just 56 seconds to go before halftime as Kelley assisted on Ken Dilts' goal. It stayed 3-3 until Christman's heroics at the end.

Penn State-Harrisburg held a 14-11 advantage in shots. Andrew Geib and Dan McGlone combined for seven saves with McGlone getting credit for the win. D'Amato stopped five shots for the Aggies.
