The Pitt women’s soccer team faced Navy for the second time this season, hosting the Midshipmen at Ambrose Urbanic Field on Sunday afternoon and unleashing on them for a 4-1 victory as well as their third series sweep of 2020. Pitt previously swept Appalachian State and the Citadel and edged out Navy 1-0 in overtime in Annapolis on Sept. 20.
The game’s first goal came courtesy of Anna Rico in the 17th minute. Awarded a free kick after Anna Bout and Leah Pais were both taken down by Navy defenders outside the box, Rico lofted a long shot beyond the reach of Navy goalkeeper Molly Swigle and tucked it in the top of the net to put Pitt up 1-0.
