GREENSBURG, Pa. – The Hilbert Women's Soccer team opened the AMCC portion of their game schedule at Pitt-Greensburg and the early morning game was the featured league Game of the Week.
The Hawks and Bobcats took the field at 11 am, rather than the normal second-game-of-an-AMCC-double header. Greensburg scored two quick goals in the first five minutes and rolled to a 7-nill win.
Coach
Scott MacLean's thoughts after the opening AMCC game, "Although you may not see if on paper, there are a lot of positives to take from today's game. We have some fixable technical things to improve on and that early penalty in the first minute put us behind. We spotted a real quality team with a few points early, which we certainly paid for."

Coach
Scott MacLean continued, "We have a ton of fight in us and we responded well and for good spurts of time. When we break down the film, we will be able to see that clearly and build off that. I am extremely proud of our team leadership and our culture right now. Our mindset is strong and growth oriented and we will bounce back from this game big time."
