Standouts Tyger Evans, Kris Shakes push Penn State men’s soccer past Indiana in championship

Penn State beat Indiana in a shutout at Jeffrey Field today, but it could not have been done without starting junior goalkeeper Kris Shakes.

The 3-0 win for the blue and white was secured during the second half when sophomore defender Tyger Evans scored.

Evans has a lot of energy and his speed brought a dynamic element to coach Jeff Cook’s which is in part why he was a key player against the Hoosiers.

Once Evans' shot hit the back of the net and sealed the win, Cook said he was “proud and relieved.”

“Tyger is very exciting — he is fast, he is lively and he is hard to stop,” Cook said.
