Saturday night was an opportunity for the Nittany Lions to show their grit and toughness. That’s precisely what they did.
No. 3 Penn State is coming off a 3-0 set victory against the New Jersey Institute of Technology at Rec Hall. However, the match was much tighter than what the set column says.
Each set of the match was tight when it came down to the last five points, with the first set being decided by two points and the third set being decided by four points.
“I think the interesting thing is I think people are going to look at the three to zero sweep and it had the feel of a knockdown drag-out fight,” head coach Mark Pavlik stated about the match.
