PITTSBURGH – Katie Zailski of the Pitt women’s soccer team has been recognized by TopDrawerSoccer as one of the Top 100 Freshmen in the country this season. The rookie defender came in at No. 26 on the website’s list.
A native of Summerville, S.C., Zailski has played in all 15 games for the Panthers this season, making 13 starts. She has registered four points off of two goals, including potting the game winner in a 4-1 victory at Virginia Tech last month. Zailski has been a key part of a back line that has registered six shutouts so far in 2022, which is tied for the third-most in a single season in program history.
Zailski has helped Pitt to its best start in program history with 11 triumphs in 15 tries. The Panthers are a win away from setting the program’s new single-season standard for victories. Pitt has appeared in the United Soccer Coaches rankings each of the last three weeks, reaching as high as No. 13 two weeks ago, and is ranked ninth on the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Committee’s Top 10 list.
Pitt begins its final stretch of the 2022 regular season by beginning a three-game homestand with a matchup against Syracuse on Thursday at Ambrose Urbanic Field. The game will be televised on ACC Network and is set for a 6 p.m. start. Tickets can be purchased online in advance for $5 or purchased on gameday for $8 at the Petersen Sports Complex Ticket Office.
