With a week off, Pitt volleyball (8-2, ACC 0-0) had a minute to rest, regroup and sharpen their claws — but now, it’s time to saddle up. This Wednesday, the Panthers travel to Dallas, Texas, for the much-anticipated ACC opener against SMU. The Panthers have fought for wins in hostile environments like State College, which will help them in the Lone Star State. Currently tied with the Panthers for the same record, the Mustangs boast eight wins and two losses. 6 Kentucky — a team Pitt swept 3-0 three days prior.
