First National Player of the Year in program history, and she’s a sophomore.

I know that last night is going to sting for a while, but I’m incredibly grateful that Pitt has a generational player like Olivia Babcock.

Not bad for a soccer/water polo goalie.

So this is what I was getting at with another post.

Wisconsin had a returning player of the year, this year and they were a contender…albeit a notch below the 4 number #1 seeds.

This is where I would expect Pitt to be next year unless Haiti is Rachel’s clone or we find one in the portal. At which point we can make another run at a #1 seed.

Thank you! It’s been fun to interact with more people who are becoming Pitt Volleyball fans.

It will happen….one way or another

Pitt VB recap for the 2024 season:

Coach Dan = National Coach of the Year
RS Hitter Olivia = National Player of the Year
OH Torrey and Setter Rachel (1st team AA's) and MB Bre (2nd team AA's)

Lots of great awards to be proud of. But if you asked each of them, individually, if they'd trade their personal honors for a team National Championship, to a person they'd say, "absolutely"

Olivia never won Player of the Year in high school in California. The players who did win it are good college players, but nowhere near her level IMO.

Some schools saw her future as a MB. I suspect one reason she chose Pitt was because Fish recruited her as an outside hitter.
