Duke Falls to No. 2 Pitt on Senior Day
DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke volleyball team fell to No. 2 Pitt 3-0 (16-25, 14-25, 17-25) Saturday afternoon in Cameron Indoor Stadium
.
The Blue Devils drop to 12-16 overall and 5-10 in conference play as the Panthers remain undefeated in the ACC (15-0) and are 26-1 overall.
Prior to today's match, the program recognized its four seniors: Samantha Amos, Lauren Cline, Sarah Nelson and Natalie Schilling.
"You can tell an immediate smile comes on my face as I think about the senior class," head coach Jolene Nagel said. "They've been a great crew. They've worked hard. They've been committed. They've gone through some challenges along the way in their class. Certainly really excited for them to take their next step and for the opportunities in this big world of ours. And at the same time, they've left their mark on Duke volleyball and we really appreciate all their efforts that they've given and each of them have really made an impact for us. So it's been tremendous."
The Blue Devils were unable to hold off the second-ranked Panthers as Pitt registered a .364 hitting percentage over the three sets to Duke's .163 percent. Pitt committed just eight hitting errors for the match and came out hot in the first frame with 18 kills and just one error to hit .500.
Ade Owokoniran and Payton Schwantz led the Blue Devil offense with seven kills each while Amos hit .312 percent with six kills and just one error in her final game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Defensively, Schwantz collected 11 digs while Amos picked up three blocks. Setters Nelson and Camille Nazor split time on the floor for the Blue Devils and dishes 10 assists each.
The Panthers were led by Chinaza Ndee with 12 kills and two errors to hit .526 percent. Setter Lexis Akeo dished 32 assists.
The Blue Devils will travel down Tobacco Road to face North Carolina Thursday, Nov. 21.
