The Shock jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 26^th minute on a Marcos Hernandez Molina unassisted goal and held the lead the remainder of the half.
 
Pitt-Johnstown knotted it at one on James' penalty kick five minutes into the second half, and Noah Pawling finished a cross from less than two minutes later to put the Mountain Cats on top, 2-1.
 
However, Pitt-Johnstown surrendered an own goal that tied it the 66^th minute, before Hernandez Molina scored his second goal of the day and the eventual match-winner with 14 minutes remaining in regulation.
 
Mountain Cat goalkeeper PJ Derksen suffered the loss.  Derksen saw 15 shots from the Shock, made five saves, but allowed all three goals.
 
Gregorio Capponi faced 15 Pitt-Johnstown shots, made three saves, and gave up a pair of goals for Washington Adventist, now 1-2-1 on the season.
