  • In the 85th minute, the Lion found the back of the net for the first goal of the game when Bhalla crossed it into the box to find Tefese for the header to secure a 1-0 victory for the Penn St. Harrisburg

  • The Golden Eagles accumulated seven corner kicks to the Lion's four 
  • Two Yellows were issued to the Lions, with one to SJLI
