On Sunday, No. 24 Penn State narrowly avoided an upset to unranked Ohio State, winning in a climactic fifth set where superstar hitter Kennedy Martin tied her career-high 34 kills in the victory. To begin their last homestand of the regular season, the Nittany Lions hosted Michigan State at Rec Hall at 7 p.m., Friday.
Penn State took the reins early and didn’t look back. Setter Addie Lyon spread the wealth evenly amongst the offense, hitting .278 en route to a sweep over the Spartans. Coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley earned her 100th career victory, as Penn State improves to 16-11 on the season and 10-7 in the Big Ten.
