Brian Schaefer's penalty kick goal with 10 minutes to play broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the match-winner, as West Chester University slipped past the Mountain Cat men's soccer team, 3-1, in Saturday's PSAC opener at the Pitt-Johnstown Soccer Field.  Pitt-Johnstown fell to 0-2-0 overall and 0-1-0 in conference-play.
