But I want to go, because it is in Pittsburgh!” If the Pitt Women’s team advances to the finals, they will have a built-in advantage of home court. Home territory is crucial in any sport.

Not only does Jessie follow Pitt, she follows the Nebraska Women’s College Volleyball team as well. “I follow Nebraska. They were the first team that I watched for college volleyball, and I was like, wow! They’re great! And I just started watching it a lot ever since!” Nebraska is ranked 6th in the nation, which is still incredibly impressive. Through starting with watching the Nebraska team, Jessie’s love for volleyball immediately began. She has been paying special attention to Pitt’s team this season.
