UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa - Following an impressive 7-0 start on the road to begin the season, Russ Rose and the second-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions returned home to Rec Hall for their first three home games in the Penn State Classic.

The Nittany Lions dominated Yale Friday night for a 3-0 sweep (25-9, 25-21, 25-11), in which the Nittany Lions out-blocked the Bulldogs 13 to 3, hitting .431 for the match.

Penn State returned even more efficient Saturday morning against Wake Forest than in Friday's home opener.

Although somewhat sluggish to start, the Nittany Lions eventually separated for a 25-16 victory in set one, before surging to a 25-11 victory in the next two sets to close out the morning.
