Wildcat Athletics Articles

As part of an ongoing collaborative effort by Major League Baseball, the City of Williamsport and Pennsylvania College of Technology, the college’s Wildcat Club supporters have stepped up to the plate to support the cost of essential field resurfacing at Williamsport's Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field.

As the fall sports seasons continue for Pennsylvania College of Technology athletes, there was news on the wrestling front this past week with the announcement of a new conference affiliation. Starting this season, Penn College will be a member of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

As job-seekers traveled to and from the Field House for the second day of the Career Fair on Tuesday, two construction students were diligently working behind the building on a new feature for the Athletics Department. Jacob C. Huston, a building construction technology student from Johnstown; and Corbin R. Moore, of Manheim, enrolled in residential construction & management technology, laid several courses of block – the start of a 20-foot-by-10-foot wall that will be used by the lacrosse team and others.

The Penn College men's basketball team added a "program changer" to its roster over the weekend, a young man celebrated for his strength of character, heart and passion for life. During a special meeting in the Davie Jane Gilmour Center on Saturday afternoon, the squad welcomed Mason Chapman – son of Megan E. Rogers, the building's information desk assistant and author of "Meet Mason."

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.

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.
