Leah Memmo sent a corner kick into the box and Ryan headed it in for the score, making it 1-1.
However, just over nine minutes later, Pitt's Bri Burgunder, who had 8 shots on the afternoon, blasted the eventual game-winner into the net from 10 yards out.
Neither team was able to score in the second half, as Johnson made 9 saves over the final 45 minutes for the Bearcats. She finished the day with 12 saves. UPG outshot Saint Vincent by a 23-10 margin on the day. Ryan had 5 shots for the Bearcats.
