PENN ST. ALTOONA'S STRUBHAR SETS NEW SCHOOL SAVES RECORD

Penn State Altoona women’s soccer suffered a 2-1 double overtime loss at Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference rival Penn State Behrend on Saturday, September 27, but the Lady Lions were able to take some solace in a record-setting accomplishment from their starting goalkeeper.

Junior goalie Mackenzie Strubhar made 12 saves in the loss to move into first place on the women’s soccer program’s all-time saves list. Strubhar, whose collegiate soccer career began at Penn State Altoona in 2012, passed former Lady Lion Haley Wheeler to establish a new record with 237 saves, and that mark has since grown to 249. Wheeler made 228 saves over a two-year span, ranging from 2004 to 2005.

Strubhar currently leads the AMCC in saves this season with 71 in 11 games and is fourth in saves per game, averaging 6.45 stops per contest.
