Pitt lost 3-0 to Texas A&M in the final four of the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament on Thursday.
The No. 1-seeded Panthers lost to third-seeded Texas A&M in the national semifinal match at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Pitt’s season ended in the final four for the fifth consecutive season, while Texas A&M is headed to its first-ever national championship.
Pitt lost the first set 29-27, lost the second set 25-21, lost 25-20 in the third set. It was the first time this season that Pitt was swept.
