CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 14 Pitt women's soccer (6-1-0, 1-1-0) suffered its first loss of the 2020 season 2-1 in overtime to No. 10 Virginia (3-1-1, 1-1-1) Thursday night at Klöckner Stadium. Emma Dawson headed in the golden goal in the 93rd minute.

Amanda West scored the Panthers' lone goal, extending her program-best goal-scoring streak to seven games, in the 50th minute on a penalty kick to force the overtime. Chantelle Parker dribbled the ball through defenders in the box and was tripped up to draw the attempt.

The Cavaliers scored the game's first goal in the 17th minute, as Diana Ordonez one-touched a ball from a few yards out.

"Tonight we see where we have to improve," said Pitt head coach Randy Waldrum. "This Virginia team is a perennial top-eight team every year, and you can see why. They are skillful, athletic and very dynamic! I felt very proud of our defensive shape and organization tonight as our team battled very hard to take this game to overtime. I was disappointed offensively as I felt we were not confident in this area. Katherine Robinson was outstanding in goal tonight! Player of the game for us for sure. Chantelle Parker had her best game to date, so it's good to get her going. These are the games we learn from, and we'll do so with this one. We've improved tremendously from the last time we were here losing 7-0 in 2018. I'm proud of the effort!"

Pitt stays on the road, facing Virginia Tech Sunday at 3 p.m.
