The No. 19 Virginia men’s soccer team defeated ACC rival Pittsburgh Saturday, 3-0. The Cavaliers (6-3-1, 2-1-1 ACC) have now outscored the Panthers (3-4-1, 0-3-1 ACC) 13-0 in the programs’ only four matches. The win vaulted Virginia into a tie with No. 1 Notre Dame atop the ACC Coastal Division.
The Cavaliers began scoring just before halftime, as junior midfielder Todd Wharton tallied his first goal of the season in the 44th minute. The Cavaliers extended their lead to two goals in the 59th minute when junior forward Darius Madison — Tuesday night’s hero after scoring both Cavalier goals in their come-from-behind win against James Madison — netted his third score of the season.
Sophomore forward Nicko Corriveau sealed the Virginia win with his second goal of the season in the 86th minute. Junior midfielder Scott Thomsen assisted both Wharton and Corriveau’s goals.
The Cavaliers’ three goals — their highest output of the season — came after notching a season-high 19 shots, including a 12-2 edge against the Panthers in the second half. Senior goalkeeper Calle Brown recorded two saves that night.
Virginia will continue its brutal stretch Tuesday night as the squad travels to Fairfax, Virginia to face No. 20 George Mason. Opening kickoff against the Patriots — who dropped their first match of the season against Virginia Commonwealth Saturday — is scheduled for 7 p.m.
