NU doesn't help its Big Ten soccer tourney chances in loss to Penn State

Senior Day proved bittersweet for the seven Nebraska soccer seniors recognized prior to Sunday’s regular season-ending match against Penn State.

The Nittany Lions, riding a five-game winning streak, got an early goal from Sam Coffey in the 10th minute, and held off several late NU scoring chances in the final minutes of a 1-0 win at Hibner Stadium.

The Huskers remained tied for seventh in the Big Ten standings with 11 points at the end of the contest. The top eight in the finals standings after Wednesday's matches qualify for next week's Big Ten Tournament.
