PITTSBURGH--Pitt's women's volleyball team returns to action this evening as they look to defend two unbeaten records at Fitzgerald Field House. The Panthers put a perfect 7-0 home record and a perfect 18-0 series record on the line as they face Robert Morris at 7 p.m., Tuesday night.

For the first time since 1987, Pitt is 7-0 at Fitzgerald Field House and will test that record against the Colonials. The Panthers lead the series 18-0 against RMU and are 9-0 at home.

Over the weekend, Pitt dropped two road matches against conference opponents, as they fell to Georgetown (3-2) and USF (3-1). Recording a season-high 23 kills at Georgetown in addition to 15 against USF, senior Diana Andreyko (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin) has moved into the second place slot on Pitt's all-time kills list with 1,693 career kills.

Also moving up in Pitt's all-time ranks was junior Jessica Moses (North Olmstead, Ohio/Lutheran West) who is now fifth in all-time block assists with 264 career block assists.

Robert Morris (11-8) is coming off a win this weekend against St. Francis (N.Y.), where senior Jennifer Stambaugh led the offense with 12 kills and four digs.

Last season Pitt blanked the Colonials 3-0 on the road.
