#10 Penn State 3-1 #11 Virginia 1, Penn State 5-0 St. John’s

With Maya Hayes with the U.S. U20 Women’s National Team and Penn State facing two difficult opponents to start its season, it was Christine Nairn and freshman Mallory Weber (among others) who picked up the slack – and then some, as the Nittany Lions opened up with two wins.

PSU defeated Virginia 3-1 to open the season on Friday night. Freshman Mallory Weber was the star of the evening, scoring twice in the second half to put the game away. Makenzy Doniak scored for the Cavaliers.

The Hoyas, who lost Ingrid Wells and Kelly A’Ambrisi (to name just two graduates) won both opening matches this weekend, a pair of 2-0 wins against George Washington and Delaware respectively.

After getting blanked in the first half against, Collen Dinn opening the scoring early in the second half, before freshman midfielder Marina Paul scored the second.

#21 Maryland 3-0 Navy, Maryland 0-0 Villanova

New Maryland head coach Jonathan Morgan overcame some bizarre weather circumstances to win their opener against Navy 3-0.

After the two teams played 42 minutes in the first half, a storm came into the Annapolis area, forcing a 1 hour and 46 minute delay with Maryland holding a 1-0 lead thanks to Becky Kaplan’s goal in the first half.

Once the storm passed and the game resumed, Kaplan doubled the Terrapins lead in 58th minute, before Alex Reed scored off a corner kick to round out the scoring.

Maryland couldn’t make it two wins from two games, drawing 0-0 against a tough Villanova side on Sunday. Terrapins goalkeeper Shannon Zickler made four saves in the draw.

However, a visit to UCF resulted in a 1-0 loss, with Sharla Passariello’s second half goal the difference.

Tennessee 4-0 Samford, Tennessee 4-1 Western Kentucky
