The biggest match of the 2018 ACC women’s volleyball season took place on Sunday. In front of a record-setting crowd of 2,152 at the Fitzgerald Fieldhouse on the University of Pittsburgh campus, the Pitt panthers won as dramatic of a 3-1 win as you’ll ever see, fighting back from an 11-point deficit and using a 19-3 run to win the 4th set and clinch the match.
