Volleyball set back at Pitt Volleyball Classic
The AU Women's Volleyball team suffered a disappointing weekend at the Pitt Volleyball Classic, dropping both of its matches against Pittsburgh and Maryland.
In the first game against Pittsburgh the Eagles fought back from an early 2-0 deficit only to lose in five games, 3-2. Senior Cutrina Biddulph led the way for the Eagles with 21 kills but it was not enough to overcome a Pitt team that was 2004's Big East Runner up.
After losing to Pitt the Eagles turned immediately around to face powerful ACC contender Maryland. The Terrapins dominated a tired Eagles team that hit only 14.4 percent of their shots for winners.
The losses bring the team's record to 3-4. The team plays Long Beach State University in San Diego next on September 16.

Georgetown's Brian Dalpiaz, Matt DeBole, and Charlie Milioen finished in a three-way tie for first place overall with a time of 20:56.
