Zeke Buchta (Mount Pleasant, Pa.) scored a pair of second half goals to tie the score at three, but Brandon Tenney's goal in overtime led Davis & Elkins (WV) College to a 4-3 home WVIAC victory over the Mountain Cats on Saturday. Pitt-Johnstown dropped to 1-2-0 overall and 0-1-0 in the WVIAC.

Pitt-Johnstown battled back with two goals in just over a minute to tie it midway through the second half. Buchta scored in the 65th minute off of Kevin Kearney's (Wexford, Pa.) assist in the 65th minute, before Buchta tied the score a minute later on a penalty kick goal.
