PITTSBURGH --- Carlow University men's soccer defeated Penn State Mont Alto, 3-0, in its home opener at Highmark Stadium Wednesday afternoon.
Junior Eric Fowler (Torrington, Conn./Wamogo Regional HS/Roger Williams University) scored a brace to lead the Celtics' offensive, all of which came in the second half of play.

A header attempt off the corner by Konner Sayre (Meadville, Pa./Meadville Area Senior HS) flew toward Rudy Nickles (Pittsburgh, Pa./Moon Area HS/Duquesne University), who headed the ball into the net during the melee.
Fowler scored his second goal of the match in the 65th minute off a free kick from 20 yards out.
The Celtics outshot the Lions, 22-9 (10-5 on goal), while Mont Alto held a narrow 6-5 corner kick advantage.
