  Penn State Abington’s softball season ended Saturday after it suffered its second loss in the North Eastern Athletic Conference Championship Tournament.

Penn State Abington Guard is NEAC Student-Athlete of the Week

The Middlesex, N.J. resident was honored after a pair of outstanding performances this week.

Mike Colacci has been named the NEAC Men’s Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week.

Penn State Abington Soccer Trounces Lancaster Bible

Abington Nittany Lions move to a program-best 7-0 by beating the beleaguered Chargers

  The Penn State Abington Nittany Lions soccer team could have easily overlooked last night’s match against Lancaster Bible College and come out flat. Facing a down-on-their-luck Chargers squad and looking forward to their game against the only other undefeated North Eastern Atlantic Conference (NEAC) team, Cazenovia, all the pieces were in place for a possible upset. Fortunately for the men in white, that simply was not the case. After a tight first half that ended 1-1, Penn State Abington exploded for three goals in the second period en route to a 4-1 victory and the longest undefeated streak to start the season in school history.  After 20 minutes of probing and deft passing in the offensive third, it was Penn State Abington (7-0, 5-0 …
