With Georgia Tech upsetting then No. 2 Pitt, 3-2 it’s opened the door for Louisville volleyball to push ahead in the latest AVCA Top 25. Louisville leads the conference with a 6-0 record (as of 10/13/21). Pitt and Miami hold 5-1 conference marks while Georgia Tech and Florida State are at 4-2. The Yellow Jackets 3-2 win over the Panthers helped them move up two spots in the latest poll just outside the top 15 college volleyball teams in the country. Texas remains in the top spot this week. Miami is just outside the 25 in the Receiving Votes category.
