PITTSBURGH – Pitt women's soccer (7-2-0, 2-2-0) topped Boston College (0-3-0, 0-3-0) 4-3 Thursday night at Ambrose Urbanic Field. Only eight seconds after the Eagles tied the game up for a second time, Anna Rico scored the game-winning goal on a laser shot way outside of the box in the 74th minute.

Emily Yaple momentarily gave Pitt the lead in the 61st minute. On a free kick, Kate McKay sent a pass inside the box where Yaple one-touched it into the back of the net.

West notched the game's first goal in the sixth minute. Drawing a penalty kick after the goalkeeper dove and tripped her up, she converted the attempt in the right side of the net.

Pitt continues its four-game homestand Sunday at 1:30 p.m. against Navy, who the Panthers defeated 1-0 in overtime in Annapolis on Sept. 20.
