Jackie Becerra (Saddle Brook, NJ) and Hannah LaSota (Patton, Pa.) each netted second half goals to lead the Lady Cat soccer team to a 2-0 home shutout victory over WVIAC rival Ohio Valley (WV) University, Tuesday afternoon at the Pitt-Johnstown Soccer Field. Pitt-Johnstown improved to 1-3-0 overall and evened its record at 1-1-0 in conference play.
After a scoreless first half, Becerra took a rebound off of Lindsey Roessler's (Chalfont, Pa.) corner kick and found the back of the net to give the Lady Cats a 1-0 lead in the 55th minute.
Pitt-Johnstown added an insurance goal following another corner kick six minutes later. LaSota's blast off of a clearing attempt by the Fighting Scots got by goalkeeper Abbi Menear to increase the lead to 2-0.
