Alexzander Toto's goal gave Pitt-Johnstown an early advantage, but California (PA) answered with a pair of goals later in the half and made them stand up in a, 2-1, PSAC Western Division win over the Mountain Cats, Wednesday afternoon at Windber Stadium.  Pitt-Johnstown dropped to 3-11-1 overall and 0-7-1 in conference-play.
 
The Mountain Cats struck for the opening goal just 15 minutes into the match when Toto finished an assist from Jaeger James.
 
However, Cullin Woytovich score two goals in a span of nine minutes to put the Vulcans on top.  Brady Olsen and Max Llado set up Woytovich's first goal that knotted it at one in the 17^th minute, before Woytovich added his second of the day and the eventual match-winner off of an assist from Shiko Ichimiya in the 26^th minute.
 
Mountain Cat goalkeeper PJ Derksen suffered the tough loss after surrendering both goals.  Derksen faced 15 shots from Cal U and made five saves., while Kiernan Webb was able to keep Pitt-Johnstown off the scoreboard in the second half to preserve the victory in net for the Vulcans.  Webb saw a dozen shots, made three saves, and allowed one goal.
 
With the win, Cal U improved to 4-7-4 overall and 1-5-2 in the PSAC West.
 
The Mountain Cats travel to a PSAC West match at Seton Hill on Saturday, before closing out the 2024 season against 12^th-ranked Gannon on Nov. 8.
