JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The Gannon University women's soccer team picked up a road victory Sunday with an easy 7-0 win at Pitt-Johnstown. Heather Patterson (Baden, Pa./Ambridge Area) and Amanda Sharbaugh (Sarver, Pa./Knoch) scored two goals each and Sabrina Chirco (Brampton, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) recorded her fifth shutout of the season.
