The Pitt-Bradford volleyball team split a pair of matches Saturday at the Moravian Greyhound Premiere Invitational, sweeping Centenary before falling to the host school.

Pitt-Bradford swept Centenary 25-7, 25-17, 25-13 to open the second day of tournament play. Kirsten Platz led the Panthers with 12 kills, Mandy Finch added seven and Rose Thacker finished with five. Emily Reitz totaled a team-high 10 digs and Gesica Ferrar collected 12 assists, three aces and two kills.

Moravian handed the Panthers their first loss of the season by a score of 25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 20-15. Platz tallied 10 kills and four blocks, and Alma Turpin and Finch had five kills apiece. Christina Rauh recorded 27 assists and 16 digs and Reitz, who was named to the all-tournament team, had 21 digs.

Head coach Tom Roof was pleased the Panthers' start to the season.

"It was a great opening weekend and we saw some good competition," Roof said. "Moravian was tough. It was disappointing to lose but we fought and some balls just didn't go our way.

I loved the energy we brought this weekend and how we played together…we showed a lot of promise."

Pitt-Bradford finishes the weekend 3-1 and will travel to Elmira Wednesday.
