PROVIDENCE, R.I. - PROVIDENCE, R.I. - On Friday, October 21, the Providence College women's soccer team was defeated by Pittsburgh by a score of 1-0. Sophomore goalkeeper Laura Elfers recorded ten saves in net for PC.

Just five minutes later, freshman Megan Mancarella (Rochester, N.Y.) had a chance to put PC on the board when her header went off the crossbar.

In the 72nd minute, Pittsburgh's Erica Wright blasted a shot that Elfers pushed back out into the box. The Panthers' Corina Sebesta grabbed the rebound and sent a shot to the lower left corner to give Pitt the game's only goal.
