The eight-time national champions are headed back to the NCAA Tournament.
Penn State concluded its 2025 regular season with a four-set victory over Iowa, holding on to the No. 25 spot in the AVCA poll. On Monday, the NCAA Selection Show announced that the Nittany Lions are traveling to Austin, Texas, as the eighth seed in the Texas Regional bracket. The blue and white are set to open its postseason against South Florida at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
This marks the Nittany Lions’ 45th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Penn State stands alone as the only program in history to never miss the postseason.
