Box Score Jared Jakubick's 15 points led a balanced attack that saw five Mountain Cats score in double figures in a convincing, 82-57, victory over the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras to open Pitt-Johnstown's trip to Puerto Rico on Wednesday.  The Mountain Cats have won six straight games and improved to 6-1.

After trailing 10-9 three minutes into the opening half at the Mario Morales Stadium, Pitt-Johnstown ramped up its defense and never looked back.  Led by Fred Mulbah and Caiden Landis, who both connected on multiple scoring plays, the Mountain Cats quickly erased the early deficit and built a 19-9 advantage.

Leading by 11 in the first half, Coach Bob Rukavina went to his bench and got immediate production from Jakubick and junior forward Marcin Wsizomirski.  Jakabick hit a 3-pointer and Wiszomirski followed with a conventional 3-point play off of high school teammate Drew Magestro's assist to build the lead to 17 at 46-29 enter the halftime break.

Pitt-Johnstown maintained the momentum in the second half and cruised to the 25-point win.

Jakabick's 15 points paced five Mountain Cats who scored in double figures.  Magestro scored 13 points, while John Paul Kromka, Landis, and Wiszomirski all finished with 12 points for Pitt-Johnstown.

Pitt-Johnstown will take on the University of Puerto Rico-Bayamon on Thursday at 7 p.m., before wrapping up the trip at the University of Sacred Heart on Friday at 10 a.m.
