PITTSBURGH – Albert Thorsen of men's soccer and Desiree Reed of women's soccer have been selected as the PNC Achievers of the Week for outstanding performances on the pitch.
Thorsen played a key role in Pitt's 3-0 shutout victory over Virginia Tech, converting a penalty kick to break open the scoring. The goal marked his third in ACC play and second game-winning goal of the season. Thorsen has recorded three goals through 11 appearances this season, with all three coming in conference play.
Reed helped the Panthers to a 1-0 shutout win at NC State last Thursday. Reed netted the game-winning goal in the 67th minute. The goal marked the second of the season and first game-winner of her career. The freshman logged a season-high 67 minutes on the field in the first ACC victory of the year for Pitt.
