The 12th-ranked Pitt women’s soccer team traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, to take on the Citadel at Washington Light Infantry Field on Thursday and overcame a late one-goal deficit to post a dramatic 2-1 win.
The first half was quiet, aside from a Katherine Robinson save that kept the Citadel off the board. But the Bulldogs got one past her in the 71st minute. It was the first goal Robinson has allowed all season, and it would not go unavenged, as Kate McKay answered with her second goal of the year in the 83rd minute.
Hanna Knych and Anna Rico created the scoring opportunity for McKay, as Knych lobbed a cross into the box from the right flank, finding Rico, who headed the ball to McKay.
