PITTSBURGH – Four different Pitt players scored and the Panther defense held Louisville to zero goals in a 5-0 rout Saturday evening at Ambrose Urbanic Field in the final exhibition game for both squads.

Highlights and Notes

• Senior Alexander Dexter scored twice, including two back-to-back goals at the 27^th and 30^th minute marks of the first half. Dexter also added an assist to his night.
• Senior Edward Kizza scored for the second straight game, punching in the opening goal 25 minutes into the game.
• Graduate assistant goalie Nico Campuzano and redshirt sophomore Alexander Steinbach, along with the Panther defense, shutout the Cardinals, keeping them to just four shots.

Two minutes later, Dexter added a goal of his own with the help from sophomore Veljko Petkovic, to extend the Panther lead, 2-0. Just three minutes after Dexter's first goal, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native added his second goal of the contest and the third goal in five minutes for the Panthers. Pitt led, 3-0, going into halftime.

In the 63^rd minute of the second half, sophomore Valentin Noel took a volley from sophomore Raphael Crivello and connected with the lower right half of the net, extending Pitt's lead 4-0. Petkovic added to his point total for the day, this time in the goal column as he added the fifth score for the Panthers in the 69^th minute. Freshman Filip Mirkovic assisted Petkovic on the goal.

Pitt outshot the Cardinals 17-4 for the night, including 9-2 in the first half. The Panthers also led in corner kicks, 7-3. Pitt held Louisville to just one shot on goal for the entirety of the game.
