Pitt Soccer 2026: ACC Fire, New Coaches | Pittsburgh News

Pitt men’s soccer gears up for a thrilling 2026 season in the brutal ACC, where they’ve punched above their weight with six straight NCAA tournament appearances—including deep runs to the quarterfinals and semifinals. Despite a modest 6-7-5 record last year, they’re stocked with talent: veteran keeper Jack Moxom (55 saves, 5 shutouts), senior goal-scorer Albert Thorsen (15 goals, 8 assists), and a midfield trio ready to dominate. Coach Jay Vidovitch, an eight-time ACC Coach of the Year, returns for his 11th season alongside new assistants Will Marshall and Robby Dambrot—both Pitt grads. The defense is anchored by rising stars Gavin Wetzel and Niklas Sørensen, while the electric Pitt Ultras will fuel every home game at Ambrose Urbanic Field. Expect fireworks as they chase another deep postseason run. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
