Pitt-Johnstown answered to take the lead with a pair of goals to start the second half.  Roman took a cross from Nicole Hawk less than two minutes in and beat Rock goalkeeper Leah Allman to the upper right corner, before Lamesta finished an assist from Roman that put the Mountain Cats on top, 2-1, just three minutes later.
 
The Mountain Cats kept the momentum and increased it to 3-1 with an insurance goal in the 71^st minute when Haley Neidig took Hawk's second assist of the day and found the back of the net.
 
Morin picked up the victory after facing 18 shots, making nine saves, and surrendering just one goal, while Allman took the loss after giving up three goals on six Pitt-Johnstown shots.  Allman made two saves.
