Pitt women’s soccer team earned its first Top 25 National Ranking of the season in the United Soccer Coaches poll released on Tuesday afternoon, as they landed in the No. 14 spot.

The Panthers, who were not even on the list of teams receiving votes in the same poll a week ago, jumped into the rankings after an impressive 3-1 victory at Notre Dame on Sunday.
