PITTSBURGH, Pa. – After defeating Thiel College on Saturday night and clinching the #3 seed in the PAC Tournament, Chatham Women's Volleyball will have a rematch with sixth-seeded Thiel on Tuesday night at the Athletic & Fitness Center. The Tomcats (17-8, 5-5 PAC) clinched the final seed in the tournament via tiebreaker over Grove City when Westminster defeated Bethany on Saturday night.
 
Sophomore Becca Gesner led the Cougar attack in the teams' lone matchup of the season with 14 kills and 3 aces. Defensively, junior Sierra Ricci led Chatham with 21 digs. The Cougars (11-12, 7-3 PAC) are coming off back-to-back wins to end the regular season, while Thiel will be looking to rebound from back-to-back losses.
