Recently, Pitt’s volleyball team was the top preseason pick of ACC coaches to win the conference. And, as expected, the Panthers will begin the season ranked in the national Top 25.
The Panthers were slotted at No. 20 in the AVCA Division I Preseason Coaches Poll. They are the only ACC team ranked.
The ranking is the Panthers’ first time in the Top 25 in more than 25 years. Despite some good seasons recently, they haven’t been ranked since 1992 as they started the season at No. 25. Pitt has gotten votes but hasn’t been ranked until now.
