The men are 7-6 overall and 5-3 in Alleghany Mountain Collegiate Conference play. The women are 5-8-1, 3-4.

Johnny Herrmann scored for the men.

"We didn't play our game," Barons assistant coach Tommy Lahey said. "We kept pace with them in the first half, and were only down 1-0 at halftime, but we let the game get away from us in the second."

FUS hosts Pitt-Greensburg on Wednesday. The women play at 1 p.m. and the men at 3 p.m.

"We played a hard game," Lady Barons defender Christyn Dupre said of the 2-0 loss. "Penn State-Behrend is a tough team, but we hung with them. We passed very well, we drove it down the field, and we found our open teammates; however, we just couldn't finish. We had some great opportunities, but were just unable to score."

When you're playing a difficult team like Medaille, though, you can't afford to fall behind early like we did."
