Pitt women’s soccer star Amanda West made program history on Thursday, as she was placed on the 2021 preseason All-ACC team after an outstanding showing in 2020. West is the first player in the 25-year history of the Pitt program to earn the honor.
West was one of 11 players to earn a spot on the preseason All-ACC team, and she was Pitt’s only honoree. Clemson, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia all placed two players each on the team. Those five programs are expected to be the top contenders in the ACC in 2021, with Florida State ranked first in the ACC preseason coaches poll, North Carolina trailing close behind in second and the others falling more significantly behind.
