Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Brandon Bell (Hagerstown,
MD/North Hagerstown) scored twice in a five-minute span of the first half
to lead Gettysburg over Penn State-Berks 3-0 in non-conference men’s soccer action
on Tuesday. Freshman Chris
Bayon (Langhorne, PA/Lawrenceville School [NJ]) netted a goal for the
third straight game as the Bullets (4-2-1) outshot the Lions 31-3 en route to
their third consecutive win. Jesse Gemberling-Johnson (Wyndmoor, PA/Christopher
Dock) led the barrage with nine shots and reached the scoring column with
an assist on Bayon’s game-closing goal.

Minutes after
stepping off the Gettysburg bench midway through the first half, Bell put his
team ahead to stay. Ian Forster (Doylestown, PA/Central Bucks West)
sent a pass from right-to-left across the box and Bell struck a shot into the
bottom right corner to make it 1-0 in the 25th minute.

get free at the top of the box, then ricocheted a shot off the inside of the right
post and across the line for a two-goal lead.

re-directed a cross from Gemberling-Johnson with 3:29 remaining, the freshman’s
fourth goal in the past three games.
