Preview / Match Notes / PSN Recent Pitt Coverage

Pitt men’s soccer team will host its first ACC home match against the team that knocked them out of the Conference’s postseason tournament last year, Louisville.

There are numerous players on both sides who have returned, but with a new season the Panthers have been an improved squad, both in efficiency in the final third and defensively, while Louisville will still present a tough challenge.  No. 7 Panthers can get a leg up on the rest of the Coastal Division with a win, while Louisville looks to get its first ACC win of the season, as they lost their ACC opener vs Notre Dame.
