ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA -- The Baldwin Wallace University men's soccer team fell to host Penn State Behrend University, 1-0, in the championship game of the Herb Lauffer Memorial Tournament on Saturday night. The Yellow Jackets had advanced to the title game by beating SUNY-Fredonia (N.Y.), 2-1 in overtime, in Friday's semifinal match.
Behrend (2-0) scored the game's lone goal when Peter Brower found the back of the net in the 35th minute off the assist from Garrett Fiscus.
