TPN Panthers of the Week: Scott Orndoff and MaKenzie Zeh

Scott Orndoff, Football

Senior tight end Scott Orndoff played a key role in Pitt’s 37-34 victory over Georgia Tech Saturday, but he has been a steady contributor for the Panthers all season.

Orndoff finished Saturday’s game with two catches for 86 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown reception that tied the game late in the fourth quarter after Pitt had just lost the lead. This season, he has 14 receptions for 203 yards and two touchdowns.

The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder became one of 30 tight ends selected to the midseason watch list for the John Mackey Award on Wednesday, annually presented to the most outstanding tight end in college football.

MaKenzie Zeh, Cross Country

Pitt sophomore runner MaKenzie Zeh continues to garner recognition after the best performance of her collegiate cross country career. On Tuesday, Zeh earned ACC Cross Country Co-Performer of the Week honors.

Zeh finished third at the CMU Invitational on the 5k course at Schenley Park Oct. 8, helping lead the Pitt women’s cross country team to a clear-cut victory. A graduate of Oakland Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Zeh paced the Panthers with a personal-best time of 19:05.7.

The Panthers finished the event with 34 points, well ahead of second-place Seton Hill.
