Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (Sept. 19, 2015) – Senior Summer Liberto scored on a penalty stroke nine minutes into overtime to give Alvernia University (3-3) a 2-1 win over Wilkes University (4-3) Saturday afternoon in non-conference field hockey action at Wilkes.
 
Alvernia dominated the play early in the extra frame forcing three saves from the Colonels.  The Crusaders kept up the pressure and earned a penalty stroke for Liberto who buried it to end the game.
