Men's Soccer Uses Balanced Effort to Win Season Opener

CHESTER, Pa.Jordan Katz made eight saves and three different players scored as the Widener men's soccer team upended the Penn State Abington Nittany Lions 3-0 at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium on Friday night.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Zach Jankauskas got the Pride on the board just under 10 minutes into the match as he took a through ball from Kevin McKenna and sent it past the keeper, who had come off his line in an attempt at the play.
  • Doug Kunkle made it 2-0 as he knocked home a header off a feed from a free kick off the boot of John Colbert.
  • Logan Musselman salted the game away late in the second half when he took the ball from 30 yards out and used a superb individual effort to take it for the next 20 yards before striking it in the back of the net.
  • Katz made eight saves in the contest, six in the first half.
TURNING POINT
In the 28th minute, Widener drew a foul and the Pride was able to convert as Colbert sent a perfect cross in from the left side that Kunkle was able to redirect home for the second goal for the Blue and Gold.
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • The three goals by Widener were the most for the team since a four tally output at Rosemont on Sept. 21, 2016.
  • Jankauskas and Kunkle each scored the first of their respective careers.
  • The eight saves for Katz were a career-high.
