GREENSBURG, Pa. (Sept. 4) – The Saint Vincent College women's soccer team suffered its first loss of the 2024 campaign, falling 1-0 in a non-conference road match at Pitt-Greensburg.
 
In an evenly played game throughout, Pitt-Greensburg (1-1) scored the game's lone tally with just over 12 minutes left in regulation. Saint Vincent (2-1) put together a late push, but was unable to score a late equalizer in a match heavy on defense.

Following the goal from UPG's Emily Bonnelli with 12:30 remaining in the match, the Bearcats pressed, maintaining possession in their attacking third for several long stretches. The Saint Vincent surge resulted in a corner kick with 6:44 to go, but it was cleared out of traffic. The Bearcats continued to press, and looked to have one final scoring chance with under a minute left, but they were whistled off side and the Bobcats ran out the clock.
 
The Bobcats held a slim 15-12 advantage in shots for the match, while the Bearcats were granted six corner kicks to the Bobcats' five.
 
Rilyn Warner, the reigning Presidents' Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Week, recorded eight saves in goal for SVC, including five in the second half.
 
Jordan Kirkwood paced the Bearcats with three shots, including one on goal, while Emily Ambrose and Tanisha Grewal each recorded two shots.
 
Paige John earned the shutout win in goal for UPG, making three saves.
 
The Bearcats will look to return to winning ways on Saturday, Sept. 7, when they welcome Carlow University to UPMC Field for a noon kickoff.
