The cancellation followed a mid-season decision by the ACC to cut the number of games its teams could play
The Pitt’s women’s football team are set to return to the pitch to face No 3 Clemson on Thursday night after nearly two weeks off The long delay was due to the late decision to cut the Oct 25 games in Syracuse by report on schedule after ACC reduced the number of regular season games its teams could play from 20 to 16 in the middle of the season Pitt had 12 games in his slate at the time
“Yes, so for now Pitt has decided not to come,” Adams told Skyler Rivera of the Daily Orange “Before we started this COVID football season, there were no rules in place So everyone assumed we had 20 games split between fall and spring.I guess this week the ACC decided to probably cut the number of games – not just for women’s football, but for all games. sports We were therefore told that it was going to be reduced by 20%, which takes us from 20 games to 16 games «
« Well, Pitt went wild this fall and tried to get as many matches as possible, » Adams continued. « So if they chose to play us, they would only be allowed to play one game in the spring, and I think their coaching staff didn’t appreciate that. » And so they want several – more than one – in the spring, and they have decided not to come «
« It is unfortunate, more than a month into our season, that the decision to reduce the number of games we can play this year has necessitated the cancellation of the game with Syracuse, » said Waldrum “We look forward to our future opportunities to play Syracuse, a program we respect and certainly enjoy competing on an annual basis. »
Waldrum also noted that the large number of games scheduled this fall was due to “the uncertainty of a spring season.” By the time Pitt’s schedule was finalized and released, the Big Ten and other conferences had canceled their fall sports seasons in response to the COVID-19 crisis, canceling women’s football until spring at the earliest The Big Ten were also unwilling to embark on a spring season, describing it as a “possibility.” However, the Big Ten and others subsequently turned their tide on football, making it more likely resumption of other fall sports in spring
Pitt and Syracuse previously played at Ambrose Urbanic Field in Pittsburgh on September 17, with the Panthers inflicting a 2-0 shutout on the Orange And if a second game was unlikely to yield a different result, with Syracuse now seated at 0-6 and having been outscored 16-1 in those six games, the game would have given Pitt a chance to relax with No 3 Clemson Thursday
One advantage is that, with the bulk of two weeks off, Pitt should be well rested and ready to face his third ranked opponent of the season Its last game against a ranked team was a 4-1 loss to No. 2 Florida State on Oct 15, and before that the team fell 2-1 to Non 10 Virginia in overtime in October 1 Pitt entered those two games with just three full days off This time the Panthers will have had 10 full days off since their last game, a 2-0 win over Miami in Pittsburgh in October 18
The match between 9-3-0 Pitt and 5-2-0 Clemson will start from Riggs Field at 7 pm ET Thursday Pitt will have the nation’s top scorer Amanda West in tow and the team will have a chance to win his first 10-game season since 2015 in South Carolina
