The Pitt volleyball team opened its season on Friday with matches against Butler and No. 24 Cal Poly as part of the Panther Challenge. The Panthers won both and are off to a 2-0 start to the season.
Pitt swept Butler but I honestly thought the team looked really rusty in that match. That had me kind of concerned as the Panthers still had to face ranked Cal Poly later in the night. Despite that start, Butler looked far worse, which was kind of surprising as they are considered one of the top teams in the Big East this year.
