Pitt lost its fourth straight game in lopsided fashion Wednesday night away to No. 10 Notre Dame.

The Fighting Irish (9-2, 1-2 Big East) put three goals past Panther sophomore goalkeeper Lee Johnston in the first half and would go on to win 7-1. Pitt (6-4-2, 0-3 Big East) wouldn’t answer with a goal of its own until the second half, when Ryan Myers scored in the 58th minute. By then, the hosts had struck again for their fourth score in the 50th minute. Freshman goalkeeper Dan Lynd replaced Johnston for the Panthers after the break. The onslaught continued after the switch as Notre Dame went on to score four more goals. Pitt managed just 11 total shots, only four of which were on goal, to ND’s 36 and 16 on goal. The seven goals allowed by Pitt account for the most goals against and the largest margin of defeat for the Panthers since a 7-1 Seton Hall loss during the 2005 season. Pitt has two more games on its road trip, the next of which is against Seton Hall on Saturday.
