With only nine days until the start the 2018 Penn State women’s volleyball campaign, the Big Ten has named graduate student Taylor Leath and junior Kendall White to the preseason All-Big Ten team.

Leath, who attended State College Area High School, will be playing her first season for the Nittany Lions after spending four years at the University of North Carolina, where she was a three-year starter accumulating 928 kills, 624 digs, 171 blocks and 42 service aces.

White looks to improve on an impressive sophomore campaign in 2017 where she was named an AVCA second-team All-American, the first Penn State libero to be named an All-American since 2005.
