All three of those goals came in a 4-3 overtime loss to Santa Barbara, meaning Pitt (1-6-1, 0-2-0 Big East) has been shut out in five of its last six games.

Of course, it’s hard to score when you take zero shots on goal, as the Panthers did against Louisville. Pitt had six shots altogether. The Cardinals had 19, including eight shots on goal.

No. 13 Louisville (5-0-1, 2-0-0 Big East) took control early in the game, as Paolo DelPiccolo scored the game’s first goal on a rebound.

Within the next minute and a half, Louisville added goals by Othaniel Yanez and Buck Tufty to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead heading into the half. Goals by Freddie Braun and Brent Rosendall in the second half brought the Panther deficit to five.

Luckily for the Panthers, their next game is against DePaul.

Heading into yesterday’s action, DePaul was 12th in the 16-team conference in goals allowed with eight in five games. The Blue Demons also have yet to shut out a team this year.

The game is Friday at 7 p.m. at Founders Field.
