PITTSBURGH – Pitt Volleyball will begin its 2023 spring season on Saturday with a 1 p.m. scrimmage against Ohio State inside Fitzgerald Field House. The match will be free to attend with doors opening at noon.
This will be the first competitive matches of the spring for the Panthers, coming off the winningest season since 1990 and a second straight Final Four appearance in 2022. Ohio State will be playing in its third spring match. The Buckeyes reached the Elite 8 in 2022, before falling in four sets to the eventual national champions, Texas.
PANTHER ROSTER
Coach Dan Fisher returns eight players from last year’s team including three starters from the Final Four match last season: All-Americans, Valeria Vazquez Gomez and Rachel Fairbanks, along with junior libero Emmy Klika.
The five non-starters from last year’s NCAA Tournament run include:
Gr. S Lexis Akeo
Sr. OH Cat Flood

For this scrimmage, the Panthers will also utilize the services of Serena Gray and Cam Ennis, both graduate students from the 2022 squad, to fill out the roster.
The six players signed for the 2023 season will be joining the team over the summer after graduating from their respective high schools or universities.
