The Pitt and Penn State women’s volleyball programs, two of the best in the college game, will be part of four-team showcase event Labor Day weekend at PPG Paints Arena.
Four contested matches will kick off the college volleyball season Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
The defending NCAA champion Nittany Lions and semifinalist Panthers will headline the event but will not play each other. Both teams will play Arizona State and TCU.
Penn State captured its eighth national title last fall, while the Panthers made a fourth straight trip to the NCAA Final Four. Arizona State and TCU both advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The State Farm Women’s College Volleyball Showcase launched last year with matches between Minnesota, Stanford, Texas and Wisconsin, drawing more than 22,000 fans to Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.
Match times and television designations are still to be determined.
A ticket presale will be held May 20, and tickets for the general public will go on sale May 21.
