Nice to see that it's airing on ACCN for the national audience to see.

Pitt up 2-0 in the 2nd.

Hail to Pitt!

 

[CrazyPaco]

Pitt wins 2-0. 7th win in a row.

That should unify the #1 ranking.

Pitt wins 2-0. 7th win in a row.

That should unify the #1 ranking.

#1 in two sports and top 25 in another. Pretty darn cool.

My thoughts also. Seems weird that the AD wasn't retained.

Denver always seems like a mid-tier, maybe even a bottom tier ACC team when we play them. They always have a great record in their mid-major league. Still a great win. We are the Vanderbilt of College Soccer.

Depending on the poll, top 25 in two other sports. FWIW, women's soccer is #13 in Top Drawer Soccer (the poll that had Denver #1) and #17 in the RPI, but only had one vote in United Soccer Coaches as of last week.

Pitt men's cross country moved up to #5 in the mid-Atlantic regional rankings (ahead of Penn State), women #6 after good showings at Paul Short on Saturday. Neither are close to the national rankings, however.

This is what being a major athletic department is supposed to be like, but Pitt has to start winning some of these NCAA championships. Winter sports trending up; however spring sports pretty much still a disaster.

Their second goal by Casper Grening was a heck of a shot, curling in past the far post.
