South Florida men win 2-1 on the road at Pitt


What did the Bulls really need after being upset by West Virginia on Friday night in a Big East Conference match? How about a date with the Big East whipping boys Pittsburgh Panthers (1-8-0)? Perfect.

South Florida (6-1-1) pushed the attack against Pitt, out shooting them 19-10. The Bulls were rewarded at the quarter hour mark when Andre Mittoo scored his first goal of the season. Assisting on the header were Ashani Fairclough and Fernando Gonzalez. After the halftime break, Bernardo Anor [right] scored his third goal of the year on a penalty kick in the fifty-first minute. Anor leads the Bulls in scoring with seven points.

The only response Pitt was able to make was to get a consolation goal late, in the eighty-fifth minute, by Justin Boehm. The late goal ruined Jeff Attinella's bid for a fourth shutout in 2009. Attinella has a GAA of 0.61 for the season and made just four saves in picking up the victory.

USF is now in second place behind Rutgers in the Big East Red Division standings and will host fourth place Cincinnati on Saturday night at 7:30pm.
