JOHNSTOWN, PA – The Gannon University women's soccer team's unbeaten streak came to an end on the road on Wednesday.

The Golden Knights saw their eight-game streak without a loss come to a halt as Pitt-Johnstown scored in the first half and held on for a 1-0 victory over Gannon in a PSAC West game at Pitt-Johnstown Soccer Field.

It was the first time this season that Gannon had been shut out as the Knights slipped to 6-2-2 overall and 5-1-2 in the PSAC West. Gannon and Mercyhurst are still tied for first place with 17 points in the standings.

Third-place UPJ improved to 4-3-1 in the conference and 4-4-2 overall.

The Mountain Cats scored the game's only goal at the 17:17 mark of the first half when a UPJ player sent a long crossing pass from left to right. A Gannon defender attempted to clear the ball just in front of the goal, but UPJ's Sophia Lamesta was there to garner the rebound. Her left-footed kick from 8 yards found the top, middle of the goal.

Gannon finished with a 14-13 edge in shot, and UPJ had a slight 9-8 advantage in shots on goal.

Sarah Fails (Girard, Pa./Villa Maria), the Golden Knights' leading scorer on the season, finished with seven shots, including five shots on goal. No other Gannon player had more than one shot on goal.

Gannon goalie Kennedy Solymosi (Eastlake, Ohio/Lake Catholic) had eight saves but gave up the one goal and took the loss.
