Yes, Penn State. What a win, especially after falling behind, 4-0, in the final set.

First set: UC 25, PSU 20. Need two more.

[swilsonsp4]

Set 2: PSU 25-17. The Nittany Lions dominated the final 15 points.

[swilsonsp4]

Jordan Thompson with a kill to eke out Set 3: 25-23. Hopefully, one more.

[swilsonsp4]

Set 4: PSU scored 13 of the last 15 points to blow away the Cats, 25-12. On to the 5th. 15 points will win it.

[Jeff Burk]

Tied 2-2, 5th set is to 15. Penn State is a very well rounded team. They have a good middle hitting attack that UC is lacking. UC has a chance and that is all that matters Mallon is playing well, UC needs to block some shots. Go UC

Set 5: PSU ran out 10-5 and the Cats couldn't catch up. Final: 15-11.

So, an outstanding season comes to an end in the Sweet 16. Great effort. The Nittany Lions' defense was the difference.

[Jeff Burk]

Great run by UC. I think that if they had either a strong middle attack or one more outside hitter (like #9 on Penn State) they could have advanced. Penn State just had too many attack options and they played great defense. We will miss Jordan Thompson and I think that if any of the top 15 teams had her on their team, they would be in contention for the Championship

Wow I didn't even catch that. How are you holding a tourney with half the teams? I'm hoping that's a COVID thing.
