Youngstown -- Sophomores Katie Hackos and Abby Kensi each scored first-half goals to lead the Youngstown State women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over IPFW on Friday evening at Farmers National Bank Field.

With win, the Penguins improve to 3-4 on the season while the Mastodons fall to 0-7.

In the 12th minute, sophomore Kyler Lum fed Hackos in the penalty box and the forward from York, Pa., drilled a shot into the lower left corner of the goal for her first career goal.

IPFW's Andie Lazzaerini knotted the match at 1-1 at the 23:39 mark. Kallianne Mogler crossed a pass from the left side into the box and Lazzerini lifted a shot over the out-stretched arms of Elizabeth Balgoyen.

Less the six minutes later, Kenski scored the game-winner off a cross from Allison Green in the lower-left corner. Kenski corralled the ball on the right side of the net and slipped a shot past a diving Haley Lydon.
