The Pitt women’s soccer team hosted Boston College at Ambrose Urbanic Field on Thursday night looking to right the ship after two straight ACC losses in Virginia, and the Panthers would succeed, topping the visiting Eagles 4-3.
Pitt star Amanda West opened the scoring in the sixth minute after she was taken down by Boston College goalkeeper Allie Augur in the box. West was then awarded a penalty kick, which she buried in the bottom right of the net to give Pitt an early 1-0 advantage.
That advantage would be negated less than five minutes later, as Sam Smith of Boston College gathered a loose ball in the box, caught Pitt goalkeeper Katherine Robinson out of place and slid a shot past her to tie the game at one goal apiece.
