Head Coach Cody Trabert and the Pitt-Johnstown men's golf team look to take the next step after back-to-back runner-up finishes when they travel to Lebanon, Pa. for this weekend's 2026 PSAC Men's Golf Championship at Iron Valley Golf Club.

The three-day tournament will kick off of Friday and wrap-up on Sunday afternoon.  The nine competing teams will bring six golfers to the tournament.  Five golfers will compete daily and the top four individual scores for each team will be used in the team scoring.
 
Eli Ropietski, Giovanni Vezza, Kooper Mackay, Lucas Smith, and Griffin Hansberry are expected to represent Pitt-Johnstown in this year's championships.  Mark Yan will be the Mountain Cats' Alternate.

Along with Pitt-Johnstown and defending individual medalist Eli Ropietski, Bloomsburg, California (PA), Clarion, Gannon, Indiana (PA), Millersville, Shepherd, and West Chester will represent the nine PSAC teams.

In 2025, West Chester stormed back to hold off the Mountain Cats by four strokes and third-place Gannon by nine shots to claim the team championship.
 
This year's tournament will feature seven returning golfers that finished in the top 10 at last year's Championship, including Ropietski, who outlasted IUP's Guillermo Salazar in a marathon playoff to earn medalist honors.
 
In addition, Pitt-Johnstown's Lucas Smith, who finished tied for third in 2025 and one stroke back of the leaders, as well as West Chester's Paul-Arthur Roth, who placed tied for fifth, two strokes back last fall return for the 2026 championship.
 
The remaining top-10 returners include Gannon's Kyle Westfall and WCU's Will Hilton (tied for seventh), Gannon's Rasmus Seppanen (ninth), and West Chester's Patrick Carl (tied for 10th.).
