UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; October 19, 2005 - Penn State extended its winning streak to four games Wednesday night with a 2-1 victory over Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y. The win ups the Lions' overall record to 7-6-2 and their season road mark to 3-2-1.

The game winner was Yeisley's team-high fourth. Chambers now has four assists on the season.

Cornell got on the scoreboard just over 11 minutes later, cutting the Penn State lead in half, when senior midfielder Pape Seye put a shot into the upper right corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season. Brian Scruton assisted on the Big Red's lone goal.
