Nebraska Volleyball Sweeps Penn State As Hord, Lauenstein Put On A Block Party

Legendary Penn State coach Russ Rose wasn’t around to watch as former Penn State volleyballer Kaitlyn Hord joined Whitney Lauenstein as they put on a block party and our beloved Huskers swept #14 Penn State, 25-18, 25-22, and 25-9.

Nebraska had 16 blocks to Penn State’s 4, and that, combined with tremendous defensive play from Lexi Rodriguez and Kenzie Knuckles, held Penn State to .017 hitting overall. Hord lead the Huskers in blocks with 9, Lauenstein with 8, and Bekka Allick with 6.

Nicklin Hames started at setter. This was her first time on the court since she was injured in Nebraska’s loss to Stanford in early September.
