The Panthers will host 13 opponents at the Fitzgerald Field House this fall, including ACC match-ups with Florida State and North Carolina, who were both nationally ranked a year ago and advanced to the Regional Finals of the NCAA Tournament. In the final AVCA Coaches Poll of 2016, UNC ranked sixth in the nation, while FSU finished 16th.
The Panthers return six starters from last year's squad, including AVCA Honorable Mention All-America selection Stephanie Williams and ACC Setter of the Year Kamalani Akeo. The duo, in addition to senior Mariah Bell, redshirt junior Angela Seman and sophomores Nika Markovic and Layne Van Buskirk, will look to lead Pitt back to the postseason in 2017.
