PITTSBURGH - Pitt travels to Charlottesville, VA for another weekend of ACC play as they get set to face the Virginia Cavaliers.
The last time the Panthers visited Virginia, they took the series from the then No. 7 ranked Cavaliers and snapped their record 23-game home win streak.
Pitt has won each of their last two series at Virginia. They've won four of their last six series against the Cavaliers dating back to 2018.
