In their first massive test against an ACC favorite, #11 Georgia Tech Volleyball suffered their first conference defeat, a reverse sweep by #7 Pittsburgh at the Fitzgerald Field House (23-25, 23-25, 25-17, 25-15, 15-8). It was Tech’s second consecutive five set match after beating Wake Forest on Sunday. They were again without starting middle blocker, Liv Mogridge, who has been out with a right ankle or knee injury.
This was a game that featured two incredibly different Tech teams. The first two sets were an offensive explosion by both teams. Tamara Otene was hitting over .500 after two sets (she finished with 23 kills and 13 digs, the only Tech player with a double-double), Tech hit 19 kills in the first set and 16 in the second, coming from behind in both to win the first two sets.
