Men’s Soccer to Host Millersville, Women to Celebrate Senior Day Against #15 Bloomsburg on Saturday at Point Stadium

Johnstown, PA


The Pitt-Johnstown men's and women's soccer teams will host a pair of PSAC matches on Saturday at Johnstown's Point Stadium.  The Mountain Cats will host Millersville University at noon, before the women celebrate Senior Day and host 15-ranked Bloomsburg at 2:30 p.m.

As a result of poor field conditions at Pitt-Johnstown, these matches have been moved to Point Stadium.
 
Head Coach Eric Kinsey's Mountain Cats are 2-12-0 overall and 0-9-0 in the PSAC following a 1-0 loss at California (PA) on Wednesday. Mario Ulizzi finished a rebound off Pitt-Johnstown goalkeeper Josh Zakrzewski the 40th minute for the match's lone goal.
 
Millersville, 7-3-5 overall and 5-2-2 in the PSAC under Coach Steve Widdowson, scored a pair of goals in each half to down Bloomsburg, 4-1, on Wednesday.
 
Last season, Matteo Adiletta scored two first half goals to lead the 22nd-ranked Marauders to a 3-0 victory over the Mountain Cats in Millersville.
 
Pitt-Johnstown will host a non-conference match against Roberts Wesleyan (NY) on Tuesday at 3 p.m., before ending the 2018 season and celebrating Senior Day with a PSAC match against Bloomsburg on October 27 at noon.
 
 
Prior to Saturday's match against nationally-ranked Bloomsburg, Head Coach Vito Addalli and the Pitt-Johnstown women's soccer program will honor this season's seniors…Leigh Appolonia, Kaitlyn Eckley, Cara Finoli, Rachel Fleming, Sam Roberts, Claudia Torrillo, and Athena Velazquez.
 
Pitt-Johnstown, 5-10-0 overall and 4-9-0 on the PSAC, got a pair of goals from Abby LaDuke and three assists from Kyra Watkins in a 3-0 win at Alderson-Broaddus on Tuesday.
 
Coach Matt Haney's (4th year) 15th-ranked Bloomsburg Huskies, 11-2-1 overall and 10-2-1 in the PSAC, made it seven straight victories with a 1-0 non-conference win over Goldey-Beacom (DE) on Wednesday.  Natalie Holmes netted the match-winner for Bloomsburg in the 72nd minute.
 
Last year in Bloomsburg, the Huskies opened-up a 4-0 lead 62 minutes into the match, before Abby LaDuke's goal got Pitt-Johnstown on the scoreboard and set the final at 4-1.
 
Following Saturday's match, Pitt-Johnstown will host its final home match of the 2018 season against Edinboro University on Wednesday at 3 p.m., before closing out the year at nationally-ranked Kutztown University on October 27.
