HARRISBURG, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg scored the game's first three goals in the game's first 46 minutes and held on for a 3-1 victory over the Stevenson men's soccer team Tuesday night  in a non-conference contest.

It was the second-straight non-conference loss for the Mustangs (9-5-1) after the team started the season with six consecutive wins against non-CAC opponents. It was also their fourth loss in five road games this season.

Senior Matthew Liska (Perry Hall/Archbishop Curley) scored Stevenson's lone goal off an assist from senior Tyler King (Parkville/Calvert Hall) in the 64th minute to prevent the shutout as the Mustangs were outshot, 21-9.

It was the third goal of the season for Liska, all of which have come in the last six games where he has totaled eight points while King picked up his third assist in the last two contests and is now second on the team with three.

Stevenson is 2-2 against the Nittany Lions (10-3-1) since 2007 with both losses coming on the road. Last year, six different Mustangs scored in a 6-1 victory at home on Sept. 15, 2009.

Junior Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) finished with six saves in just over 52 minutes before giving way to freshman Alex Zeidler (Woodstown, N.J./Woodstown) who made his fourth appearance of the season. Sophomore Cory Spindler (Sykesville/Century) played the final 22 minutes totaling two saves.

Stevenson concludes the regular season with the first of back-to-back home games on Friday when it hosts Mary Washington beginning at 3:00 p.m. Prior to the game, the Mustangs will honor its four seniors in Liska, King, Sean Scarselletta (Severna Park/Severna Park) and Justin Bean (Silver Spring/Paint Branch).
