The top-ranked Pitt men’s soccer team faced No. 2 Clemson in the championship game of the ACC tournament Sunday in Cary, North Carolina. The contest was hard-fought, but the Panthers did not have enough left in the tank to pull out another win after a grueling week in the Tar Heel State and fell to the Tigers 2-1.
During the first half, Pitt appeared more out of sync than it had at any point this season. That was due in part to the absence of Jasper Löeffelsend, a key contributor on defense who also leads Pitt in assists, with six on the season.
