Outside the Box: The Penn College men's soccer team faced a formidable opponent Tuesday evening at King's College.  The Monarch's, riding a seven-game win streak before losing last Saturday, looked to bounce back on an injury-stricken Wildcats team.   Penn College, without some key offensive weapons, failed to provide a significant offensive punch to reach the scoreboard.  Head Coach Tyler Mensch said after the game, "It's October now and we need to start playing our best soccer.  Our guys battled despite not having a lot of possession time tonight."  The Wildcats played without Dylan Snyder, Ian Smith and Matt Voland this evening, losing a big punch to their attack.  "We played hard until the final whistle.  Right now, we need to get healthy and focus on conference play," Mensch added. 
 
Up Next: Penn College returns to action Saturday, October 5, home, for Alumni and Family Weekend, against Lancaster Bible College at 1:00 PM.
