Previous season

In the 2012-13 season, Pitt's final in the Big East Conference, the Pitt women were without a single senior on their roster. Star recruit, six-foot, 11-inch center Marvadene "Bubbles" Anderson was redshirted for the season. Pitt compiled a 9-21 record, and for the second year in a row, went 0-16 in the conference prompting the replacement of head coach Agnus Berenato with Suzie McConnell-Serio on April 12, 2013.[3]

Season

New coach Pitt hired Suzie McConnell-Serio to replace Berenato as head coach.[3] The 2013-14 season will be Pitt's first competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Pitt returns 11 players from the previous season including seniors Asia Logan and Ashlee Anderson. 6'11" redshirt freshman "Bubbles" Anderson will see her first collegiate action. Players not with the team from last season include redshirt junior guard Abby Dowd, a former Buffalo transfer, and freshman forward Krista Pettepier who transferred to Pepperdine.[4] Roster additions include freshmsn guard Fréderique Potvin of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and freshman guard Chelsea Welch of Kettering, Ohio.

gollark: What? That's obviously impossible.
gollark: It's energy *per photon*. The power of each wavelength emitted varies according to that graph there.
gollark: Because when wavelength goes up energy goes *down*.
gollark: That would be "inversely proportional".
gollark: What were you talking about before when you said wavelength‽
