On the second night of back-to-back road games, the Greensburg Pirates traveled to Switzerland County to take on the Pacers and lost 4-2.
Greensburg started the game off with a goal in the first minute (something that hasn’t been accomplished in over three years), when Joseph Pacilio received a well placed through ball from Vincent Pavy and found the back of the net. With Greensburg up 1-0 early, the Pacers battled back and were able to score the equalizer less than 15 minutes later. The weather conditions led to some sloppy play including some misfires from both teams. Greensburg got the chance to go up once again when freshman Sage O’Mara scored a goal off of a header that came from a corner kick from junior Nicholas Zapfe.
Once again, Switzerland County equalized to draw the score to 2-2 at halftime. The second half was a very defensive battle throughout until the final 12 minutes, when Switzerland County buried a shot from 25 yards out. The Pirates continued to fight and get scoring chances late, but another goal from the Pacers put the Pirates away for good and pushed the score to 4-2.
