Road win fuels momentum
Pitt’s men’s soccer team traveled to State College and left with a 2-1 win over Penn State, extending their unbeaten run to two games.
The breakthrough came in the 33rd minute when Caden Grabfelder converted a penalty, his first goal of the season, giving the Panthers an early edge.
Penn State answered quickly, leveling the match in the 38th minute through Amadou Kone’s strike, forcing the game into a tight contest.
Pitt regained the lead just after the break, as Anders Bordoy’s shot took a slight deflection off a defender before finding the net, a moment that shifted momentum.
Goalkeeper Jack Moxom was busy, making two crucial saves in the second half to preserve the slim advantage.
Statistical dominance
Despite being outshot 7-5, the Panthers controlled 63% of possession and earned five corners to Penn State’s three, underscoring their dominance in key metrics.
Looking ahead, Pitt will host Michigan State on Thursday, September 3, at 7 p.m., a matchup that could further test their early-season form.
