PROVIDENCE, R.I.--Senior Diana Andreyko of Pitt's women's volleyball team was named to the Big East Conference's weekly honor roll, as announced by the league, after leading the Panthers in conference matches to remain unbeaten at home this season.
Andreyko (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin) led the team with a double-double in its shutout victory over Seton Hall (3-0) with 15 kills and 11 digs. In that match she also recorded a season-high .429 hitting percentage. Andreyko was one of only two athletes to post double figure kills in that Pitt-Seton Hall matchup, as teammate Meagan Dooley (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) chipped in 13 kills against the Pirates.
The next day, Pitt had to comeback from a 2-1 deficit in the Villanova match, where Andreyko was instrumental with a season-high 22 kills. In game four, she led the charge against the Wildcats with a game-high seven kills, including three back-to-back-to-back kills that energized the team. Andreyko also recorded three blocks in the match.
Andreyko has 1,655 career kills to date, which is 27 kills shy of second place on the all-time career kills list. Already the career leader in attempts with 4,457, she also holds steady in sixth place on the service ace list with 115 career aces.
Pitt (11-8, 5-1 Big East) is on a three-match win streak and travels to Georgetown and USF this weekend.
