The Pitt women’s soccer team concluded a two-game series with Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina, on Sunday, and after shutting out the Mountaineers 4-0 to open the season on Thursday, the Panthers defeated them 7-1 over the weekend at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Stadium.
For the second game in a row, Leah Pais opened up the scoring for Pitt. This time, the Albany transfer scored in the 13th minute on a give and go with Anna Rico, and Pais found the back of the net despite getting taken down by Appalachian State defender Kirsten Seeley.
Rico would score two minutes later, after Amanda West streaked past two Mountaineers and set her up with a cross.
