In other news, PITT wrestling was 9th in attendance in NCAA Wrestling this past year.

For the first time ever, SEASON TICKETS will be sold and the start date for the sale is, November 1.

I bought the family plan for the woman's basketball, 2 adult and 2 children, $110.00 and you get 2 Panther Club points. The ticket office has not finalized the price for the wrestling tickets at this point. I suppose there will be some point reward for Panther Club members.

VJ, I agree Coach Serio has done a great job recruiting in a short period of time. She seems to get the best from Seton-LaSalle, her alma mater, each year. Note that she also has Cassidy Walsh, a junior and Seton-LaSalle's point guard since her freshman year, signed for 2015. Walsh was committed to Duquesne but switched to Pitt to follow Coach Serio. So did current freshman, Chelsea Welch from Ohio, who, arguably was the top recruit in Duquesne's 6 person class last year which was ranked #39 in the country. There is also another 4 star recruit in the current recruiting class, Aysia Bugg, from Illinois. She's not in the top 100 but that makes four 4 stars in this class. Not bad! Last point of trivia, Naje Gibson is the granddaughter of Negro League legend Josh Gibson.

Helps to have local talent at her alma mater, Seton LaSalle, but she also showed she can recruit out of state. Signed class is ranked #15 nationally by two recruiting services. Agnus never had a top 20 class.
