Panthers Remain Unbeaten on the Season
CINCINNATI – Another double overtime battle ensued for the University of Pittsburgh women's soccer team Thursday night, as the Panthers competed to a 2-2 draw with Cincinnati at Gettler Stadium.
The Panthers jumped out to an early lead, as a pair of goals from redshirt junior Taylor Pryce put Pitt up 2-0 early in the second half. .
Pryce's first came just six minutes into the contest as she found the left corner of the net to put the Panthers on top 1-0. A little more than two minutes into the second frame, Pryce did it again, finishing a breakaway from Jess McCoppin.
Cincinnati would cut the lead to 2-1 a few minutes later, as a diving header found the back of the net.
UP NEXT
The Panthers will wrap up their Cincinnati, Ohio roadtrip on Sunday, visiting Xavier at 1 p.m. Pitt will return to Ambrose Urbanic Field Aug. 30, kicking off a two-game homestand.

Some good moments but still a lot of work to do. Happy for Taylor to get her first two goals! https://t.co/W3AvrvSwg2
