The Pitt volleyball team won its match against No. 14 overall seed Utah in the NCAA Tournament in impressive fashion. The Panthers dominated the match, sweeping the Utes, 25-16, 25-18, and 25-19.
Yes, I expected the Panthers (18-4) to have a great chance to win. Utah, as I wrote, was overseeded and Pitt really had little trouble with them. Still, seeing them win the match with relative ease wasn’t something I expected. Utah was not trounced and Sets 2 and 3, in particular, were competitive. But the Panthers did not allow the Utes to reach even 20 points in any of the three sets.
