PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Junior Cory Berliner earned Big East Weekly Honor Roll accolades, after posting a perfect 2-0 weekend on the mound. Berliner recorded the first nod of the season for the Panthers.

Berliner (3-2) tossed two complete games and gave up just two earned runs in 14 innings, as Pitt returned from the Morehead State Invitational with a 3-1 record. Berliner also held her opponents to a stingy .160 batting average and struck out six batters.

On the season, she leads the squad with eight appearances in the circle and has put in 42.2 innings of work.

As a whole, Pitt’s pitchers lead the league with a 1.71 team ERA, and are third overall in holding opponents to a .212 bating average.

The Panthers travel to Tampa for the USF Under Armour Classic, March 12-14. The Panthers will face Drake (9:30 a.m.) and Quinnipiac (11:30 a.m.) on Friday. Then, they have games against Central Michigan (10:30 a.m.) and Boston College (12:30 p.m.) on Saturday, before meeting Cleveland State (9:30 a.m.) on Sunday.
