INDIANOLA, Pa. - - The Providence College men's soccer team scored twice early on the first half and defeated Pittsburgh, 3-0, on Saturday, October 3 in a BIG EAST Conference match at Founders Field. With the win, the Friars improved to 5-3-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the BIG EAST.
The Friars needed only 4:31 to take a 1-0 lead as junior Andrew Sousa (Fall River, Mass.) scored his first goal of the season. Sousa, who had one goal and one assist in PC's win against Pittsburgh last season, fired a shot from 10-yards out that found the back of the net. Less than 10 minutes later, Providence added to its lead when sophomore Daniel Fabian (Southbury, Conn.) scored the first of his two goals on the afternoon in the 14th minute. Fabian, who also scored against the Panthers last season, was able to beat Pitt goalkeeper Keegan Gunderson to the ball and head it over and into the net. Junior Matt Marcin (Wilmington, Del.) assisted on the goal.
Fabian sealed the win for the Friars in the 82nd minute when he scored from five yards out off a rebound. Senior Sean Bakhtiari (Hampstead, N.H.) assisted on the goal as he recorded his first career point. The three goals is the highest scoring output for the Friars since November 1, 2008 when they scored three times in a 3-0 victory over Pittsburgh at PC's Glay Field.
Providence goalkeeper Timothy Murray (Haverhill, Mass.) added to his shutout total as he made three saves to pick up his sixth clean sheet this season and the 24th of his career. Murray has not allowed a goal in the last 376:16.
The Friars are back in action on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. when they play at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. The game will be televised by Cox Sports and it will be aired via tape delay on Thursday, October 8 at 8:00 p.m.
