Penn State men’s soccer ties first match of the season against No. 5 Pittsburgh

After two exhibition matches over the last two weeks, Penn State was determined to start the season on the right foot as it traveled to Pittsburgh’s home turf Thursday night.

Following last year, senior forward Peter Mangione said that the team was ready to make a comeback.

“I think we all are [out for vengeance] to be honest with you after last season,” Mangione said to the media on Tuesday.

After a consistently paced game, Penn State tied with Pittsburgh 1-1 after maintaining the lead for most of the match.

From the beginning, it was clear that this was going to be an exciting game.
