TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 4 Pitt volleyball team (13-3, 5-1 ACC) rebounded and swept Florida State (8-7, 2-4 ACC) 25-14, 25-19, 25-21 on Sunday afternoon in Tully Gymnasium. Olivia Babcock recorded a match-high 18 kills, 11 digs and six blocks. Redshirt seniors Brooke Mosher and Emery Dupes led the match with 35 assists and 12 digs, respectively.
The beginning of the first set was close, but the Panthers used a 7-3 run to hold a 12-7 lead. Four kills in the following stretch from Babcock, Blaire Bayless and Dagmar Mourits forced Florida State to take a timeout at 18-10. The Seminoles needed another timeout at 22-13, but terminations from Ryla Jones and Bayless and a Florida State error gave Pitt the first set, 25-14.
The Panthers held a 15-11 advantage at the media break and continued to hold it at 18-15 thanks to two kills from Bre Kelley and a Haiti Tautua'a ace to force a Seminole timeout.
