The No. 13 Arizona State women's volleyball team upset the No. 2 Penn State team in a 3-1 win and a gritty 31-29 fourth set victory. The Nittany Lions (2-1) fostered more momentum with right side hitter Kennedy Martin in the fourth set more than other time time during the match, but fending off Sun Devil (2-0) Noemie Glover was nearly impossible.
