JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (Sept. 30) – Behind a pair of goals in a span of just over two minutes in the first half, the California University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team claimed a 2-0 victory at Pitt-Johnstown on Tuesday afternoon in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play.
 
With the win, the Vulcans improve to 3-5-1 overall and 2-2 in league action. Meanwhile, the Mountain Cats fall to 1-7 this season with a 0-3 mark in conference play.
 
Cal U scored the opening goal of the game at the 24:23-mark when freshman Djordje Babic (Datteln, Germany/Comenius Gymnasium) scored on a free kick from just outside the top of the box. The Vulcans added to the lead in the 27th minute when fellow freshman Nathan Delgado (Lancaster, Pa./Conestoga Valley) scored on a shot from the left side of the box to the far post off a feed from senior Brad Colvin (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep). After halftime, the Vulcans nearly added an insurance goal with just under 20 minutes remaining when a shot by junior Russell Tattersall (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep) hit off the crossbar.
 
Senior Shane Donovan (Pipersville, Pa./Central Bucks East) tallied three saves while registering his first shutout of the year. UPJ goalkeeper Nate Kleya finished with three saves in the losing effort.
