In Head Coach Dan Fisher’s 5th season at the helm at PITT, he believes that “this is the strongest group” we’ve had in his tenure at the University.  And that is a large amount of praise to give this team heading into the season after last year’s team made a minor impact in the NCAA Tournament before being knocked out by Penn State last season.

They opened the season at the Husky Invitational with two 3-0 losses to #3 Washington and #9 Creighton before rebounding to earn their first victory with a 3 set to 2 set victory over St. Mary’s.
