A new episode of Sounding Off on Soccer Podcast is up!

Pittsburgh Soccer Now‘s John Krysinsky has more on Pitt men’s soccer’s NCAA Tournament run — which has them on the precipice of another College Cup.

John is joined by ACC Network / ESPN+ / Pitt broadcaster Jason Earle, who was on the call for Pitt’s NCAA tournament win on Sunday (3-2 extra time thriller vs Kansas City) and has called many Pitt men’s and women’s soccer matches in recent years. The Panthers will play on Saturday in the Fourth Round (Elite Eight) facing another tough challenge from Vermont Catamounts.

In addition, John also shares his thoughts on Riverhounds SC’s first roster signing announcements (and Edward Kizza’s departure) that came last week and what to expect as the Hounds work toward building 2025 roster.
