Penn’s second leading scorer on the season, Clark Slajchert, was held scoreless in the opening frame, but eight points from Dingle and Spinoso paced the Quakers through the first 20 minutes.The start of the second half was much like the first, as the two teams battled back and forth until about midway through.
