#1 Pitt to Volleyball Final Four

Top-seeded Pitt swept Kentucky, 3-0, Saturday in the NCAA Volleyball Regional Finals, clinching a fourth-straight berth in the Final Four. After winning the opening set, Pitt (33-1) had to rally from six points down late in set two to win, 25-23. The Panthers then crushed the Wildcats, 25-17, in the final set, triggering the on-court celebration. Olivia Babcock had 13 kills in the match, adding to 31 she scored Thursday against Oregon. Those numbers earned her the tournament MVP honors. Pitt will face Final Four host Louisville Thursday evening in the third match this year between the ACC foes. The Panthers won both matches during the regular season, 3-2 in Pittsburgh in late October, then 3-1 a month later at the KFC Yum! Center, the site of the Final Four.
