WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – No. 7 Pitt (21-2, 11-0) continued its winning ways on Friday night, sweeping Wake Forest (25-21, 25-13, 25-19) inside Reynolds Gym in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Panthers extend their winning streak to 14 matches, growing the nation’s longest active road winning streak to 12.
“I liked our effort tonight, especially out of Valeria [Vazquez Gomez] and Serena Gray” head coach Dan Fisher said. “I was happy to get the three-set win. We were consistent. We didn’t give up too many long runs. But credit to Wake Forest, they really pushed us with their service pressure. Happy to come away with a win in three sets on the road against another good team.”
