Women's Soccer Tops St. Vincent Thursday Afternoon

LATROBE- The Pitt-Greensburg women's soccer team (3-2) took down crosstown foe St. Vincent (2-2) by a score of 2-1 Thursday afternoon at UPMC Field. 

Pitt-Greensburg dominated on the offensive side of the field, outshooting the Bearcats 23-10, including 13-4 in the second half of play. The Bobcats made great use of their shots, putting 13 attempts on goal and limited St. Vincent to just four. 

The Bobcats had four players that posted multi-shot efforts, led by Bri Burgunder's game-high eight attempts and five shots on goal. Tiffany Michalek recorded four shots, three of which she put on goal, while Megan Downey came off the bench and chipped in with three shots, all of which she put on goal. Alexa Fetterman also contributed in the offensive barrage with three shots and Allie Grimm fired both of her attempts toward the Bearcat goal. 

Pitt-Greensburg jumped out to a 1-0 lead just 2:21 into the match. Michalek dribbled past multiple defenders and fired a blistering shot past the St. Vincent keeper into the lower left hand corner of the net to give the Bobcats a 1-0 lead. The goal was Michalek's third of the season. 

Saint Vincent would answer the goal with an offensive chance of its own as Kristin Marsh drilled an attempt towards the Bobcat goal, but Kaitlyn Watson came up big with one of her five saves of the afternoon.

Just over four minutes later, the Bobcats put together a fury of offensive chances as Burgunder's shot was saved by Abigail Johnson. Following Burgunder's shot attempt, Pitt-Greensburg generated three-straight corner kicks, but the visitors were unable to take advantage of the opportunities as the score remained 1-0. 

In the 26th minute of the opening half, St. Vincent tied the game at one as Katie Ryan headed home a corner kick. 

The game would remain tied for approximately the next 10 minutes, but in the 36th minute Burgunder netted her third strike of the season to put the Bobcats up 2-1 at halftime. 

Pitt-Greensburg dominated the second half totaling 14 shots, which included multiple breakaway scoring opportunities, but the Bobcats could not increase their lead. The Bobcats held the Bearcats without a scoring opportunity for the final 21 minutes of the game and would go on for the 2-1 victory.

Pitt-Greensburg returns to action Saturday afternoon, when it travels to New Concord, Ohio to face Muskingum. Saturday's match is scheduled for 1 pm.
