Pitt Women's Soccer Faces Syracuse Seeking First ACC Win

The match will be available for streaming on ACC Network Extra.

The Panthers have scored at least one goal in their last eight matches, averaging 1.88 goals per game during this stretch. Their only shutout came from a 1-0 loss to Texas earlier this season. In contrast, Syracuse has struggled recently, entering the game without a goal over their last five matches and on a four-game losing streak.

Pitt last played Syracuse in 2024 at Ambrose Urbanic Field, winning 3-0 while limiting Syracuse to just three shots. Players Olivia Lee and Katie Zailski started that match, with Sofia Dohney and Sage Stelzer contributing off the bench.

Sofia Doheny has been particularly effective for the Panthers, scoring three goals in the last four games. Five players on the team have accumulated five or more points this season. Katie Ellermeyer and Sage Stelzer have been key playmakers, each recording four assists, which marks a career-high for Stelzer and an improvement for Ellermeyer, who had just one assist last year.

Pitt is also generating offensive opportunities effectively, ranking ninth in the conference with an average of 16.6 shots per game and fourth in corner kicks, averaging 6.9 per game. Lola Abraham and Zailski are notable for having played and started all 10 games this season.
