The Wesleyan women's soccer team kicked off the 2025 season with a scoreless 0-0 draw against Pitt-Johnstown on Sunday afternoon at Culpepper Stadium.
 
Despite controlling possession, outshooting the Mountain Cats 16-5, and generating multiple scoring chances, the Bobcats were unable to find the back of the net in the season opener.
 
The Bobcats' backline—led by Tessa Grisez, Carlie Ice, and Kaydence Bonneau—stood tall all afternoon, limiting Pitt-Johnstown to just five total shots (all on goal) and only two corner kick opportunities. Ice and Grisez also contributed offensively with aggressive pushes forward, combining for six total shots.
 
Wesleyan launched an impressive 16 shots, nine of which were on target, but Pitt-Johnstown's goalkeeper Parker Grimm stood strong with nine saves.
 
Grisez was particularly dangerous, firing four shots—two on goal—including a powerful strike in the 79th minute that forced a diving save. Isabella Pinczel made a strong debut with two shots on goal, while Ava Badallo, Ice, and Paloma Zamora also created quality chances throughout the match.
 
Wesleyan held a 4-2 edge in corner kicks, all of which came in the second half.
 
The match saw its share of physical play, resulting in a combined 23 fouls—12 committed by Wesleyan—and four yellow cards assessed to the Bobcats. Cautions were issued to Kaydence Bonneau (44'), Kailey Garofalo (61'), Mia Rodriguez (84'), and Holden Talton (90'). The Mountain Cats were shown no cards but committed 11 fouls of their own.
 
Wesleyan will look to convert chances into goals and earn a first win of the season when they host California University of Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m.
