In a historic week for the Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s tennis team, the Wildcats posted first-ever program wins over two longtime opponents.

While the forecast delivered on its soggy promise, Wildcat Weekend proved as indestructible as any rock-solid tradition. So a couple of events were moved and a few feet got wet; no big deal. What IS consequential is that students and their families, alumni and employees enjoyed three days (and nights) of exciting events steeped in Penn College Pride.

According to Pennsylvania College of Technology esports coach Joshua Young, “(This) week will kick off the start of our fourth year in the NACE Starleague Varsity + league for our Rocket League, Overwatch 2, Valorant and CS:GO teams. The regular season will span six weeks and conclude on Nov. 10, with the playoff starting Nov. 13-17 (round of 6), Nov. 27-Dec. 1 (round of 4) and the divisional championship the week of Dec. 4-8.

Penn College comprised the largest showing at Sunday's Out of the Darkness Community Walk, helping to save lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. Two teams – PCT Hope, organized by Mary R. Shuma Rudberg, director of counseling, and Katie L. Mackey, assistant director of disability and access resources; and the Wildcat men's basketball team – paid no heed to rain and joined other local residents in Montoursville's Indian Park.

Pennsylvania College of Technology teams and individuals in several fall sports had impressive outings over the past week.

First-time coach David Straub has high hopes for the Pennsylvania College of Technology tennis program, and he will draw from his blue-collar experience as a homebuilder to build it.

After guiding his team to a conference championship and NCAA tournament berth during his first full season – and with all of his players returning – Pennsylvania College of Technology golf coach Rob Lytle is optimistic.

Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s volleyball and soccer teams led the way over the past week as both tasted victory for the first time this season.

On the first weekend of the fall sports season, Pennsylvania College of Technology teams not only tasted action for the first time but found varying levels of team and individual success in the process.

Entering his second season, coach Tom Leeser is looking for improvement for his Pennsylvania College of Technology men’s and women’s cross-country teams. Both squads open their seasons at 6 p.m. Friday at Misericordia University.
