The Pitt men’s soccer team soundly defeated West Virginia 7-0 in the 2017 edition of the Backyard Brawl at Ambrose Urbanic Field on Tuesday night, scoring four goals in rapid succession to end the first half and adding three more to close out the game.
Alex Peperak opened up the scoring in the 33rd minute, and Pol Planellas tacked on another from 40 yards out in the 36th minute. Pitt continued to score in three-minute increments, adding goals from Joshua Gaspari in the 39th minute and Alexander Dexter in the 42nd minute.
Freshman Edward Kizza got things started again for Pitt less than a minute into the second half, tapping in a well-placed ball by Gaspari, and he added another less than 10 minutes later.
