The Pitt women’s soccer team faced its toughest test of the 2020 season to date on Thursday night, as the 14th-ranked Panthers took on 10th-ranked Virginia in Charlottesville. As expected, the game was a close one, and it was ultimately decided in overtime. But for the first time this season, Pitt did not escape with a victory and instead fell to Virginia 2-1.
Virginia pressured Pitt all night, as the Cavaliers outshot the Panthers 30-4. That kept Pitt goalkeeper Katherine Robinson busy, and she came up with seven saves on Thursday, matching the total number of stops she had over the first six games of the season.
