PITTSBURGH — The Pitt women's soccer team (5-5-2, 1-3 ACC) suffered a 4-0 loss to SMU on Thursday night at Ambrose Urbanic Field.
After a scoreless first half, the Mustangs surged late with four second-half goals to earn the win in Pittsburgh.

SMU opened the scoring in the 63rd minute, capitalizing on a corner kick that deflected inside the box and found Nyah Rose for a one-touch finish.
The Mustangs doubled their lead in the 70th minute, as a run up the left side set up a cross into the box that Sammy Nieves tucked away. SMU added two more goals in the 76th and 80th minutes, with finishes from Sydney Japic and Rose to seal the result.
