On Sunday afternoon at Ambrose Urbanic Field, the University of Pittsburgh women's soccer team and No. 10 Notre Dame drew 1-1 to wrap up their ACC home debut.

The Panthers and Fighting Irish entered the locker room with no goals.

With seven to six shots, four to three shots on goal, three saves, and four corners, Pitt had a little advantage at the break.

The Panthers continued to generate scoring opportunities early in the second half.

Pitt and Notre Dame exchanged shots up and down the field, back and forth, in an effort to score first.

Kristina Lynch was successful in scoring the opening goal for Notre Dame by hitting the bottom center of the net.
