No. 13 Women's Soccer Defeated at No. 7 Duke
10/9/2022 3:02:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM, N.C. - The No. 13-ranked Pitt women's soccer team (11-3-0, 4-2-0 ACC) suffered a 1-0 road loss to No. 7-ranked Duke (10-3-0, 5-1-0 ACC) Sunday at Koskinen Stadium.
The Blue Devils broke a scoreless tie in the 53rd minute on a goal by Olivia Migli.
"I'm both extremely proud of our team and disappointed for them," head coach Randy Waldrum said. "(Associate head coach) Ben (Waldrum) put together an amazing game plan for this game, and the players executed it to perfection."
The Panthers had several opportunities to tie the score in the final four minutes. A shot by Athalie Palomo in the 86th minute from low left was saved by Ruthie Jones. Shots by Samiah Phiri and Landy Mertz a mere 12 seconds apart in the 88th minute both hit the crossbar, and Duke held on for the one-goal victory.
Both teams finished with nine shots, but Duke held a 5-2 advantage in shots on goal. Pitt went into halftime holding a 4-3 edge in shots. Anna Bout accounted for four of Pitt's nine shots.
"We minimized their chances, and we missed on several great opportunities ourselves, including hitting the crossbar twice in the final two minutes," said Waldrum.
Caitlyn Lazzarini made three solid saves to keep Duke off the scoreboard over the first 50 minutes of play and finished with four total.
Mackenzie Pluck led Duke with three shots while Kat Rader tallied two. Jones made two saves for the Blue Devils en route to the win.
