#1 report

[CrazyPaco]

#1 Men's Soccer (first week at #1)
The #1 Pitt men's soccer team traveled to #17 Virginia Tech, and following a day delay which moved the game to Saturday, came away with a 2-0 win, with both goals scored in the second half.
Pitt is 7-1-0 overall and 3-0-0 in the ACC.
This coming week, Pitt steps out of conference to host Howard Wednesday Oct 2nd (7pm) at Ambrose Urbanic Field (ACCNX). That is followed by hosting #5 Denver on Monday October 7th (7pm) at Ambrose Urbanic (ACCN).




#1 Volleyball (second week at #1)
The #1 Women's volleyball team opened ACC play by traveling to Clemson and #13 Georgia Tech.
At Clemson (8-4), Pitt swept the Tigers 25-21, 25-15, and 25-13.
At #13 ranked Georgia Tech, Pitt also swept the Jackets 25-11, 25-17, and 25-8 in an absolute beat down of the 13th ranked team in the nation.
Pitt is 12-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACC, and has preserved its unbeaten set streak at 36-0, the only team that has not lost a set this season.
This coming week, Pitt travels to Boston College for 7pm match in Chestnut Hill on Friday October 4th (ACCNX), and then visits Syracuse for an 11am match on Sunday October 6th (ACCNX).




Pitt's streak of having 2 #1 ranked teams at the same time should continue into a second week.

And I do not think many Pitt fans realize how absolutely dominant the volleyball team is. They are just a #1 team that is barely #1...they are completely poised to win Pitt's first ever NCAA-awarded team national title, with the only other team pundits are mentioning are in their same category is traditional powerhouse #2 ranked Nebraska. It may be a race between men's soccer and volleyball who can cross the national title chase first.

It seems Volleyball hasn’t lost a set since the first match of the season.

They totally dominated a pretty good team. Impressive

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Impressive!

It seems Volleyball hasn’t lost a set since the first match of the season.

They won the exhibition match at the beginning of the year against Michigan 3 sets to 2. They haven’t lost a set in the regular season.

And women’s soccer picked up a 1-1 draw on the road at #6 Stanford.

It really is remarkable how the best Olympic sports conference in America managed to get *even better*. That Pitt/Stanford WVB match in a few weeks is going to be an incredible environment.

The Howard contingent will be up at Ambrose Urbanic checking out the ACC facilities in preparation for a potential move.

The women aren't ranked in the United Soccer coaches poll, but are ranked #15 by Top Drawer soccer.

Perhaps most importantly, they currently sit at #12 in the RPI. Big games coming up for them...well, they're all big at this point.

Pitt is now the unanimous #1 volleyball team in the nation.

Two #1 teams and you fire the A.D.?

Right you are.

I blame spell check (but it probably was my stupid error).

I am telling you and anyone.....right now, at this moment, they are the single most dominant team in American sports, college or pro.

2 #1 teams in non-revenue sports. An AD should be evaluated based on:

70% football
29% men's basketball
1% Olympic sports

That is an absolutely disgraceful thing to do. People already paid you money for their tickets, and now you are telling them to give you more money or you are going to force them sit in the worst seats.

And they played ranked teams on OOC.

When Fitzgerald is vacated in a couple of years maybe you can set up shop and sell replica Sean Miller jock straps.....donate the proceeds to the football program! The crap you spew is getting old!

Do you apply to this UConn or Kentucky if you're university President? I'd hope not. Because basketball national championships can happen in those places and mean something -- football titles cannot. Yes I am taking SMF bait in a volleyball and soccer thread, sorry everyone.

It's okay. Setting the bar higher than what is reasonable and then bitching about it is how he thrives.

Pitt men's soccer also retains its unanimous #1 ranking in the latest United Soccer coaches poll.
