Pitt linebacker

done for season

Pittsburgh senior linebacker Quintin Wirginis will miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee during practice.

Coach Pat Narduzzi said Wirginis was hurt in a non-contact drill Tuesday.

The loss is significant for the Panthers (3-3), who travel to No. 5 Notre Dame (6-0) this weekend. Wirginis leads the Panthers in tackles (41), tackles for loss (7.0) and sacks (3) and is tied for the lead in forced fumbles (2). Wirginis racked up eight tackles, a sack and a forced fumble that was returned for a touchdown by teammate Dane Jackson.

Rhea Kijowski did everything but sell popcorn Wednesday night for playoff-bound Waynesburg.

Kijowski, a sophomore, is a standout forward for the Raiders and she showed as much by scoring five goals and assisting on two others in Waynesburg’s 8-0 thumping of visiting South Allegheny in Section 3-AA.

The Raiders played without goalkeeper McKenzie Booth, who was injured in a match earlier this week. So Waynesburg started Emily McCarthy in net and she was replaced with about 15 minutes remaining by Kijowski as the Raiders search for a new keeper.

Kylie Sinn, Bailey Fudala and Elise Benke each tallied a goal for Waynesburg (10-3, 12-4). South Allegheny (5-8, 6-8) was eliminated from playoff contention.
