Elsea, Lilley Tame Lions with Record Performances

Box Score McKEESPORT, Pa. – Senior forward Troy Elsea (Fowler, Ohio/Badger) put four goals in the back of the net, three of which were assisted by freshman Jordan Lilley (Jamestown, Ohio/Greeneview), in a 5-0 victory over Penn State Greater Allegheny on the road on Tuesday.

Lilley's three assists broke the men's soccer program's single-game assist record, which Ray Hanzak (Madison, Ohio/Kent State University ) held since last season.

Elsea's four-goal performance ties him for the most goals and the most points (8) in the game in program history. The last occurrence of a four-goal, eight-point game was on Sept. 22, 2010 when Tanner Mesing (Freedom, Pa./Freedom) knocked in four goals in just over 10 minutes against Hilbert.

Francis Ahia (Penn Hills, Pa./Penn Hills) also scored an unassisted goal for the Tomcats Tuesday and assisted on one of Elsea's goals.

The Tomcat defense held Penn State Greater Allegheny to three shots. Sophomore netminder Dalton Young (Salem, Ohio/West Branch) had two saves in the shutout victory.

The Tomcats (2-3), winners of two straight games, will be back in action on Thursday when they travel to Bradford, Pa. to take on the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. The game is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m.
