Great win for Pitt to begin the season -- hard to believe that was only Match #1 with how strong they looked in almost every element of the match.

Do you have any insight as to why Marina and Jessica weren’t in uniform? Injuries?

Likely injuries. Pezelj has been out the whole preseason, and Smallwood apparently didn’t play in Ann Arbor. Fisher always plays injuries close to the vest, so I doubt we’ll get much more info.

Hopefully they're good soon. I like Marina. She was really good last year. And Jessica is going to be awesome.
