ALTOONA, PA:  The Penn State Altoona women's soccer team had a tough run of it with winless Bethany College on Saturday afternoon, but eventually downed the Lady Bison by a score of 1-0 at Spring Run Stadium.

The only goal and eventual game winner didn't come until the 84 minute mark, when freshman Danielle Collins (Glen Rock, PA / Susquehannock) found sophomore Heather Darnell (Canton, GA / Cherokee) for the header directly in front of the Bethany goalkeeper. 

Altoona out-shot Bethany 15-7 on the afternoon and had eight shots on goal compared to the Lady Bison's three.  Darnell attempted six of the Lions' 15 shots and her game-winning goal gives her four goals in four games. 

Altoona improved to 2-2 overall and returns to action this Tuesday when Shenandoah comes to Spring Run Stadium for a 4:30 pm contest.  The Lion men's squad plays at 7:00 that evening against national powerhouse Carnegie Mellon.
