Penn State women’s volleyball uses comeback to defeat Illinois

Surging back after being down two sets to one, Penn State completed an impressive comeback to beat Illinois in five sets.

The Nittany Lions started off the match just like the night before with Penn State taking the first set with ease.

After that is when the troubles started to flood in for the blue and white.

Penn State lost the next two straight sets and seemed to be stuck at the bottom of a hill with a large climb that seemed too insurmountable to surpass.

This didn’t stop freshman Annie Cate Fitzpatrick from leading the team in kills for the second night in a row as she carried the team back into the match.
