Johnstown, Pa.

Box Score
2971The Pitt-Johnstown women's soccer team and the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven University ended their PSAC match with a tied score of 1-1, after a battle between both teams resulted in double overtime, Saturday afternoon in Johnstown. A goal late in the second half from Rachel Fleming gave Pitt-Johnstown their first ever result in the PSAC since joining in 2013. The Lady Cats are now 0-11-1 overall and 0-11-1 in conference-play.

Nearing the end of what remained a scoreless game, Sarah Bonelli broke the silence in the 79th minute giving the Bald Eagles a 1-0 lead after finishing a through ball from Felicia Cramer.  

Pitt-Johnstown answered back less than a minute later with a goal from Rachel Fleming, who tied scoring at 1-1. Fleming rebounded a shot from Kaitlyn Eckley off of Lock Haven's keeper, and was able to keep the Lady Cats alive in play at the end of regulation time.
