Predictions | How will Penn State women’s volleyball fare in the Big Ten in 2021?

It’s been three seasons since Penn State last took home the Big Ten Championship, but expectations remain high for a program that is among the nation’s best.

Last season, six schools from the Big Ten earned spots in the NCAA Tournament, and the conference continues to be one of the most competitive in the entire country.

The Nittany Lions’ start to the season, originally a weekend slate at Michigan, has been postponed “out of an abundance of caution” according to a release.

While you wait, here’s our staff’s predictions heading into the 2021 season.
