SHP grad Shenk scores first career college soccer goal

Sacred Heart Prep grad Mia Shenk, who missed her senior year due to a knee injury, scored her first career collegiate goal in Penn's 2-0 victory over visiting Brown on Sunday.

The victory clinches at least a tie for the Ivy League title. The Quakers play Princeton next Saturday needing a win or draw to clinch the outright title.

 

 

"With a one-goal lead, the tension grows as each minute passed. Just one chance can erase the advantage, but in the 77th minute, that tension was alleviated, thanks to a freshman's first career goal. Mia Shenk has shown promise throughout her rookie season and picked a delightful time to jump onto the score sheet.

"Paige Howard worked herself free down in the right corner and managed to get off a cross while sliding and Shenk did the rest. The freshman made a near-post run, cutting across the face of Brown's center back, and flicked her shot goalward. It glided over Etzel's outstretched hand, clipped the underside of the crossbar and found the back of the net, doubling Penn's lead."
