The Nittany Lions fell to in-state rival Pittsburgh, but not without a star-studded battle.
No. 13 Penn State women's volleyball had an in-state rivalry matchup against No. 5 Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. The Nittany Lions (4-4) were seeking a third consecutive win, but couldn't push the match to five and fell 3-1 to the Panthers (8-3).
The game was more than a heated in-state battle historically, it was a contest between two of the best players in the country: Penn State right side hitter Kennedy Martin and Pittsburgh right side hitter Olivia Babcock.
