PITTSBURGH – Pitt standout Sarah Schupansky has made a quick transition to professional soccer following a sterling four-year career at the University of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh, Pa., native recently helped FC Gotham to a 1-0 win over UANL Tigres in the championship match to win the first edition of the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
Gotham's win secured a spot in both the inaugural FIFA Champions Cup in 2026 and the inaugural FIFA Women's Club World Cup in 2028.
Schupansky has scored one goal and has a pair of assists in NWSL play as Gotham FC is off to a 3-3-4 start to the 2025 season. She currently ranks second in the NWSL in both crosses (58) and corner kicks (30). Schupansky has appeared in all 10 matches this season, starting nine, and was named Player of the Match in her debut March 16.
Her play has also garnered attention on the national stage as the two-time All-ACC selection was among 24 players called up to the first U.S. U23 Women's National Team training camp of 2025 running from March 31-April 7 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.
Schupansky was named to the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team training camp roster on May 21. The U23s will be in Germany from May 26-June 3 and are scheduled to face the host nation twice (May 30 and June 2).
