Panthers Conclude 2017 Season 8-10-0 Overall
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Pittsburgh men's soccer team fell 5-0 at No. 21 Notre Dame Wednesday night at Alumni Stadium in the first round of the ACC Men's Soccer Tournament.
Pitt ends the 2017 season 8-10-0 overall while Notre Dame improves to 10-5-2 overall and advances to the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, facing North Carolina Sunday, Nov. 5.
The Panthers finish the year with eight wins for the first time since the 2002 season when they finished 8-9-1.
The seventh-seeded Irish built a 3-0 first half lead and the 10th-seeded Panthers would be unable to recover.
The Irish jumped to a 1-0 lead just one minute and 30 seconds into the match, as Jon Gallagher deflected redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Mikal Outcalt's kick into the goal.
Notre Dame added its second goal of the night in the 11th minute as Sean Dedrick sent a ball from the right flank to the middle of the box and found the foot of Blake Townes.
The Fighting Irish extended their first half lead in the 38th minute off a free kick. Felicien Dumas sent a 23-yard laser to the right side of the goal, bringing the score to 3-0.
Notre Dame tacked on its fourth goal in the 49th minute when Jeff Farina buried the rebound off his initial shot.
ND's Farina struck again in the 62nd minute as he headed in a corner, giving the Irish a 5-0 lead over the visiting team.
Pitt was out-shot by the Irish 10-3 while Notre Dame finished with a 9-1 advantage in corners.
