Behind Oberle's goal, Bobcats triumph over Bradford 1-0


GREENSBURG, PA: A goal by Pitt-Greensburg freshman Taylor Oberle (Mt. Lebanon, PA, Mt. Lebanon) in the 38th minute, couple with a strong defensive effort, led the Bobcats to a 1-0 victory over previously undefeated Pitt-Bradford.

Oberle knocked in a rebound past Bradford keeper Sarah Dailey, only the 4th goal allowed by Bradford in AMCC play this season.

The defense did the rest, behind UPG keeper Shannon Edwards (Fayetteville, PA, Chambersburg), the Bobcats kept the AMCC's #1 ranked team off the scoreboard for 90 minutes.  Fittingly on senior day, it was senior Caitlin Welsh (Penn Township, PA, Penn-Trafford) who stopped Bradford's most dangerous chance.  In the 71st minute, Bradford had a golden opportunity off a deflected ball, and a shot was heading towards an empty net but Welsh was there to come up with a big-time play to preserve the one-goal lead.

UPG was able to run out the clock, knocking off Bradford for the first time in the Chuck Wigle era, and the first time as a program since 2007. 

Playing in their final regular season home game, it was a great send-off for seniors Welsh, Courtney Carroll, and Mckenzie Plovock. Fortunately for the trio, they will fight on to play one more time at Ridilla Field in the AMCC playoffs.

Pitt-Greensburg finishes the regular season in the AMCC with a record of 6-1-2, and has clinched the #3 seed in the AMCC tournament.  The Bobcats will wait for the rest of the seedings to be determined, and will host the #6 seed on Saturday, October 31st
