The Mountain Cat men's soccer team will continue its stretch of three consecutive home matches when ninth-ranked Mercyhurst University visits the Pitt-Johnstown Soccer Field on Saturday.  Kick-off for the PSAC Western Division match is scheduled for 1 p.m.
 
Pitt-Johnstown comes in at 1-3-1 overall and 0-1-0 in the PSAC West under Coach Eric Kinsey.  After suffering a 4-1 loss at Slippery Rock on Saturday to open conference-play, the Mountain Cats bounced back with a 5-1 non-conference victory over Central Penn on Tuesday.  Evan Ulrich had a pair of goals and assists to lead Pitt-Johnstown, which outshot the Knights 30-5.
 
Third-year Coach Ryan Osborne's ninth-ranked Mercyhurst Lakers improved to 8-0-1 overall and 2-0-0 in the PSAC West after Wednesday's 1-0 win over Seton Hill.  Dylan Sumner's goal just over 86 minutes into the match led the Lakers over the Griffins.  Mercyhurst also defeated California (PA), 5-0, last Saturday.
 
The Mountain Cats will host a PSAC West match against Gannon as part of a doubleheader with the women's team at the Pitt-Johnstown Soccer Field on Wednesday, before traveling to a conference match at Seton Hill next Saturday.
