Brandywine Doubles Up Schuylkill In Final Non-Conference Match

SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Pa. – Penn State Brandywine built a 6-0 lead and held on to defeat Penn State Schuylkill 8-4 during the Lions' final men's soccer non-conference match of the fall on Thursday afternoon. The victory pushed Brandywine's unbeaten streak against Penn State University Athletic Conference opponents to 90-straight matches dating back to 2015.

Robbie Warren (Waldorf, Md./Westlake) netted the first two goals of the day for the Lions, scoring twice before 10 minutes of regulation had expired. Warren's first goal came off a long feed from Juan Romero Luna (Oxford, Pa./Oxford) at the 7:58 mark. Fifty-eight seconds later, he headed home Kyle Reuter's (York, Pa./Dallastown Area) corner kick for a 2-0 margin.

Brandywine doubled its lead before the half as Francis Sarpong (Germantown, Md./Northwest) and Omar Simpson (Bear, Del./Christiana) both found the back of the net.

Warren completed a hat trick just 33 seconds into the second period and then assisted on Lukas Garthwait's (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) first of three goals just 1:17 later, pushing the lead to six.

Schuylkill scored three times in a span of fewer than five minutes to cut the Lions' lead in half, but Garthwait added two more markers, one in the 67^th minute and another in the 75^th minute, to help Brandywine hold on.

Garthwait and Warren both had seven-point games, while Reuter added to his school-record assist total with two helpers.

Brandywine outshot Schuylkill 30-10 and put 27 shots on target. Will Manarpaac (Boerne, Texas/Samuel V. Champion) stopped three shots to earn the win in goal for the Lions.

After beginning October with three games on the road, Brandywine (3-6-3, 0-3 United East) will return home for a conference match with St. Mary's of Md., on Saturday at 3:00 PM.
