No. 7 Pitt women’s soccer faces Ohio State in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament at Ambrose Urbanic Field at 7 p.m.

Ohio State is 9-7-2 and finished with a 5-4-1 record in the Big Ten. They earned the No. 7 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and lost to No. 2 Nebraska in the Quarterfinals on the road last Sunday.

The Buckeyes are 2-2 against ranked teams this season. They hold wins over the No. 16 Indiana Hoosiers at home on Sept. 28 and the No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers on the road on Oct. 15 and losses to the No. 17 Memphis Tigers on the road on Aug. 24 and that loss to the Cornhuskers, who held a No. 19 ranking at the time.

The two teams have a shared opponent this season in Buffalo. Pitt defeated them in their season opener on the road, 2-1 on Aug. 17 and Ohio State lost to them at home on Aug. 20.

Ohio State holds the all-time series with a 3-1 record over Pitt. They have wins in their most recent meeting in 2013 and also in 2010 and 2002, while Pitt won their only match in 2009, a 2-1 win in Columbus.

The winner of this game will face No. 2 Arkansas next Friday, Nov. 17 on the road.
