PITTSBURGH – University of Pittsburgh redshirt junior Valeria Vazquez Gomez is set to compete for Puerto Rico at the International League NORCECA Women's Final Four this weekend in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. The event, a qualifier to the FIVB Challenger to the Volleyball Nations League, features teams from Costa Rica, Cuba, Puerto Rico and host Mexico.
Vazquez Gomez, a 6-1 outside hitter, helped Pitt earn its sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and the program's first NCAA Final Four appearance last season. She finished the season with 95 kills, 107 digs, 16 blocks and 14 service aces as the Panthers posted a 30-4 record overall.
