PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (September 17, 2021) – A tight contest between the Mount St. Mary's men's soccer team and the Penn Quakers unraveled between minutes 30 and 40 at Rhodes Field. The home side scored three goals in that span, sending the Mount away with a 5-1 defeat.

Jack Shearer supplied a near immediate response for the Mountaineers, taking a cross from Marcus Lewis and scoring the equalizer. For the graduate student, the strike serves as his first goal and points in a Mount St. Mary's uniform.

Mount's defense held for 10 minutes, but Kai Lammers broke through the line in the 31^st minute to give the Quakers their second lead. Seizing on momentum, the Philadelphians struck for two more goals before the half was over.

Most of the second half passed without much action from either side. Several Mountaineers got their chances for playing time as the time ticked down, including four making their 2021 debuts. Penn fired six shots during the last frame, tacking on an 89^th minute goal from Stas Korzeniowski.
