Stransky Scores, But Falcons Fall at #13/14 Pitt
September 03, 2023 | Women's Soccer
Vukas stops 6 of 7 shots on goal against her former club
Katie Cox and Maya Dean assisted on Stransky's goal, which came just over an hour into the match.
The Panthers (now 6-0-0 on the season) – currently ranked No. 13 in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer, 14th by College Soccer News and 21st in the United Soccer Coaches ratings – outshot the Falcons (2-3-0) by a hefty margin, but held just a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Pitt doubled the lead on a penalty kick in the 57th minute, and scored again just under three minutes later.
Stransky scored her first collegiate goal in the 60th minute, with Cox and Dean assisting. But, the hosts added a goal with 75 minutes gone, then tacked on a final marker in the final minute of the match.
Stransky, a freshman, now has a two-match scoring streak, as she picked up an assist on the winning goal in BG's 2-1 victory at Detroit Mercy on Thursday.
Madison Vukas, a transfer from Pitt, faced seven shots on goal in the first half and made a career-high six saves.
