Pitt entered the season as the No. 20 volleyball team in the country. After a weekend that saw them win three consecutive matches to start the year, the team shot up to No. 14 in the AVCA poll this week. Of teams that were ranked, that was the biggest move anyone made up the polls.
Part of the Panthers’ weekend was a win against No. 24 Cal Poly. The coaches in the poll didn’t seem that loss too bad for Cal Poly as they remained in that slot, staying in the Top 25. Pitt remains the only ACC team ranked in the poll.
