The 2026-27 season will mark the seventh for Cody Trabert as Head Coach for the men’s golf team at Pitt Johnstown after previously serving as a volunteer under Head Coach Mike Drahos the previous two years.
During the 2025-2026 season, the team had their best year to date in program history. The team had two team wins at the Hannastown Invitational and Appalachian Collegiate. They also had four individual champions throughout the season (Eli Ropietski at PSAC Championship and IUP Spadafora Invitational, Griffin Hansberry at Hannastown Invitational and David Razinskas at the Appalachian Collegiate). Eli became the first individual PSAC Men's Golf Champion in program history. As a team, they set a new record for season long scoring average at 295.07. Eli Ropietski set the low individual scoring record while Grayden Laird set the single season freshman scoring record average.

The team finished off the season with hosting the 2026 NCAA DII Atlantic/East Regional at Sunnehanna CC in Johnstown.
During the fall campaign of the 2024-2025 season, the Mountain Cats set numerous records and had the best statistical semester to date. The team finished 2nd place at the PSAC Championships which is the best finish since joining the conference during the 2013-2014 season. The team also ended the fall semester with new highs based on Scoreboard Rankings finishing as the #3 ranked team in the Atlantic Region and also #73 nationally, before the team made their third appearance in the NCAA Atlantic/East Region Tournament and placed sixth.
In the spring of 2022, Pitt-Johnstown earned its first ever berth in the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Super Regional Tournament where the Mountain Cats came away with a sixth-place finish in the 20-team field.
