FSU and Pitt met just 10 days ago at the Seminole Soccer Complex, where the Seminoles prevailed in a 3-2 victory over Pitt. FSU was led by Onyi Echegini who scored two goals to put FSU on top. The Seminoles have never lost to Pitt holding a perfect 12-0 record against the Panthers.

The Seminoles are looking for their fourth-straight ACC Championship and looking to win both the ACC Regular Season and Tournament Championship for just the fourth time in school history.

Pitt is quite good obviously, but it's a relief not having to face UNC in their backyard (yet anyway....).

Suspect the team really wanted UNC.

Pitt is a better T E A M than UNC. UNC has more players that can play (depth). Pitt has a more cohesive unit that plays together very well.
The battle will be won or lost in the midfield and we need numbers there, b/c they beat us there last time for a large portion of the game.
The difference is that FSU has the best collection of finishers of anyone in the NCAA!

It was going to be a tough game either way. Pitt gave us all we could handle two weeks ago. They dominated the first half. If we play like we did in the 2nd half I like our chances.
