New Ken Soccer loses to WCCC, 3-2

An undermanned New Kensington men's soccer team suffered a 3-2 loss at the hands of Westmoreland County Community College on Wednesday in Youngwood. The team only brought 12 men to the game, opting to rest a few players in order to be at full strength when they face conference opponent Penn State Hazleton this Saturday. The Wolfpack was able to score 2 goals before New Kensington could get on the board in the final minute of the 1st half. The goal came off the head of Perry Sciulli, who was assisted by J.D. DeMarco on the play. WCCC would stretch their lead to 3-1 after scoring off of a misplayed ball by the Lions defense in the 55th minute. Adam Bombalski scored New Ken's second goal off of a free kick in the 68th minute to cut the lead in half and give the game its eventual final score of 3-2. The Lions return to action this Saturday when they face Penn State Hazleton at Valley High School at 2 p.m.
