UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State men's soccer team shutout James Madison in a 2-0 victory Tuesday night at Jeffery Field. The team is now 2-1-1 for the season.

After a tough loss against Temple, the Nittany Lions entered the match against JMU focused and ready for another victory.

The first half performance was 'ridiculous,'" said Head Coach Bob Warming. "We haven't beat James Madison since 1998. The most satisfying part, however, was the way the team took over. The win today was huge going into the Big Ten this weekend."

With such a young team this year, the seniors on the squad have been stepping up as the leaders, two seniors who specifically shined against JMU were veteran midfielders Brian James and Kyle MacDonald.

Although James and MacDonald are both midfielders, they each have their own unique style of leadership.

James, who is a little more vocal and dominate on the field and MacDonald who is more quite but can constantly make sure he sets his team up for best scoring opportunities.
