Arianna Haskins Profile

Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Majors: Natural Sciences BS

Additional Involvement: Varsity Women's Soccer, Student Athlete Advisory Committee Co-President, Science Olympiad at Pitt.

Favorite Thing About Pitt: My favorite memory at Pitt is beating the University of North Carolina in the first round of the ACC tournament in 2023 on their home field. This was at a time when our team was unranked after multiple ACC wins and we were extremely hungry to prove ourselves. After 90 minutes the score was tied and we headed into overtime. We ended up scoring in the first half of overtime and fought every minute until the last whistle. I will never forget running into my teammates arms and how proud I felt of everyone's grit that day. I could see all of teammates truly ecstatic for one another and my heart was so full. Also, this was the first time Pitt beat UNC Women's Soccer in program History!

Future Plans: I plan on playing soccer for as long as possible and hope to continue my career professionally after college. Once I am done with that chapter of my life, I plan on attending medical school to pursue my dream of becoming a physician.
