Syracuse’s game against No. 1 Pittsburgh on Nov. 6 has been canceled after the Panthers paused all men’s soccer activities Wednesday afternoon “due to COVID-19 protocols,” the teams announced. Both Pitt’s and SU Athletics‘ releases did not specify whether there was a positive case within the Panthers’ program.

The SU-Pitt game is the fourth Orange contest canceled or altered by COVID-19 this season. After an SU player tested positive on Sept. 13, an exhibition against Virginia and an official game against Navy were canceled. The Orange’s rescheduled season-opener, an Oct. 3 home match against then-No. 2 Pitt, was pushed back three days to give SU a week of team training following its return to practice.

Syracuse fell in that opener 3-2 in double-overtime, and the team has yet to win a game this season. Two ties against Louisville and Virginia Tech followed a loss to Notre Dame, and the Orange play at Virginia next on Friday.

“(Virginia) will be another cracking soccer match,” Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre told reporters Wednesday morning. “We’ll find out a lot about ourselves, measuring ourselves against one of the gold-star programs.”

At the time of McIntyre’s 11 a.m. press conference, though, the Orange had another game after the Cavaliers matchup. Now, Friday’s game will be the Orange’s last before the ACC tournament.
