Second-half struggles sink No. 3 Penn State in loss to Virginia

Penn State faced the Virginia Cavaliers Thursday at Jeffrey Field for its annual March to the Match game.

The Nittany Lions started the scoring but lost the game, 2-1.

One major lineup change for Penn State came between the posts. Redshirt Junior Amanda Poorbaugh got her first start of the season in goal instead of Mackenzie Gress.

The game started with good defense from the Nittany Lions. In the second minute, Amelia White got a great chance but pushed it off target.

The biggest chances of the first 10 minutes were played in Penn State’s attacking side of the field.
