Abby Emch joins a couple 2026 recruits in Ayanna Watson & Isabelle Hoppe on the 2025 U19 roster pool.
18 players in the pool, 12 will ultimately go to Europe.

My guess is Watson is a lock to makes the team and Hoppe has a very good chance.

Love how USAV lists their region with their hometown, just because I love some of region names.
Size wise, there are some absolute trees on that list.

Looked at that list a little more. The fact that there are two girls that are relatively close to PGH is cool. This part of the world is improving and Pitt's popularity has a lot to do with it.
I think Bayless is going to have a monster season. In the preseason schedule, she looked vastly improved.
I agree with you about Bayless.
And playing this summer for USA U21 will help her further development and her confidence.
Three Panther greats on the initial National Team roster for this summer's Volleyball Nation's League:
- Rachel Fairbanks
- Olivia Babcock
- Serena Gray
I'm hopeful at least one of them make the final roster -- would especially love to see Liv get some reps against top international opponents.

US has an insane amount of U21 talent. Wonder if Sullivan will take a few Texas women? Asjia O'Neal and Madisen Skinner feel like locks, regardless.
Layne Van Buskirk is on Canada's VNL roster:
50 years ago I was watching the athletic exploits of Tony Dorsett at Pitt.....now the Tony Dorsett of Pitt volleyball.....Olivia Babcock..... is turning heads......mine in particular! I'm blessed to have been able to watch in person two of the finest Pitt athletes to ever wear the blue and gold!

Well said!
I will also add Billy Knight and Roger Kingdom to that list of finest Pitt athletes that I've been blessed to watch perform their excellence as a Pitt Panther!
Speaking of the VNL roster, the Louisville folks are drowning in their own tears over Elana Scott being left off of the roster. Also not sure who they think she should replace.
Watching Serena play this winter, she has really improved. I don't think she's better than a couple of those women but she's definitely deserving of this invite.
