Thursday night marked a rare occurrence for the Pitt women’s soccer team, as the Panthers were shut out for the first time this season and Pitt star Amanda West was stymied by VCU in the team’s 1-0 win over Pitt. The freshman forward has been a force since her arrival on campus, as she began her career with a hat trick and then extended that into a six-game point streak that lasted from Aug. 23 to Sept. 8.
So far this season, West has seven goals and three assists for a total of 17 points. West’s point total ranks fifth in the NCAA, and her seven goals rank sixth.
