PITTSBURGH -- Pitt Panthers women's basketball has gone internationally for future talent and added another player from outside of the United States in the Class of 2025.

5-foot-11 guard Megan Hollingsworth, who hails from Canada, announced her commitment to Pitt on her Instagram. She took a visit to Pitt over the weekend of Sept. 20-22, which played a role in her decision to join the program in the future

"Hard work + dreams + discipline = success #COMMITTED#h2p," Hollingsworth wrote in her commitment post. "I’m EXTREMELY excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Pittsburgh. 💙💛

"Throughout my basketball journey I have been blessed with the greatest support system I could ever ask for. I would like to thank Coach Harbir and Coach Brad from the Nepean Blue Devil’s where I first started playing. The years I spent playing with that team built me into the player I am today.

"Thank you so much to Coach Fab, Merrick, Coach Shen and Coach Lauren for always pushing me to be great and for believing in me since I was 12 years old. They have devoted so much time into developing and making me a better person and basketball player. I am so grateful to have such amazing people around me every day.

"Thank you so much to my wonderful parents and my siblings for always supporting me and showing up for me. Without them, I couldn’t do everything that I do.

"Lastly, I would like to thank all of my aau coaches from Canada Elite, A-Game, Become One, and Kia Nurse for challenging me and supporting me during the summer.WOOHOOOO💙💛"

Hollingsworth plays for Captial Courts Academy in the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association (OSBA), where she averaged 10.6 points per game, while shooting 49.2% from the field, 34.8% from 3-point range and 66.7% from the foul line in the 2023-24 season.

She also played for Kia Nurse Elite 17U on the Nike EYBL Circuit this past summer as well.

Hollingsworth is the fourth commitment in the Class of 2025 for Pitt women's basketball and the second Canadian.
