How It Happened
Stitz got the Quakers on the board in the 10th minute off feeds from Korzeniowski and McGinnis, then doubled the lead just over two minutes later.

Off a Monmouth yellow card in the 35th minute, Korzeniowski tacked on his sixth of the year, doubling his goal total from last season.

In the 41st minute, on Monmouth's best scoring chance of the night, Nick Christoffersen stopped a penalty kick, keeping the Hawks off the scoreboard.

As has been the case all season, Penn's defense held strong all the way to the final whistle, as the Hawks finished with seven shots and only three on-target all stopped by Christoffersen.
