PITTSBURGH -
The Pitt tennis team, led by first year head coach Alex Santos, released its 2014 spring schedule Tuesday — its’ first in the ultra-competitive Atlantic Coast Conference.
“We are very excited to announce our schedule for the spring of 2014,” said Santos. “Being a part of the ACC is a privilege and we’re looking forward to competing against some of the best teams in the country. We understand the level of competition we will be seeing and we want to take advantage of the great opportunities we’ll have to be challenged and consequently to improve as a program.”
Pitt opens the season on Saturday, Feb. 1 with a home match against Morehead State. The first-ever ACC match for Pitt will take place on the road on Feb. 22 at Virginia Tech with an 11 a.m. start time.
The Panthers’ move to the ACC brings a wealth of high-level competition, which is evident in the fact that Pitt will compete against seven of the top 25 teams in the nation from 2013. Included in that number are four teams coming to Pittsburgh: No. 8 Miami on March 7, No. 13 Clemson on March 9, No. 4 North Carolina on March 28 and No. 14 Duke on March 30.
Other ACC foes coming to Pittsburgh in 2014 will be Maryland on Feb. 28, Syracuse on April 4 and NC State on April 18.
Pitt travels to Virginia Tech (Feb. 22), Wake Forest (Feb. 23), Boston College (March 21), No. 15 Virginia (March 23), No. 23 Notre Dame (April 6), Georgia Tech (April 11) and No. 24 Florida State (April 13).
Non-conference opponents coming to play the Panthers on their home court will be Youngstown State on Feb. 7, Robert Morris on Feb. 15 and Duquesne on March 15.
The ACC Tournament, Pitt’s first as a new conference member, is scheduled for April 23-27 in Cary, N.C.
