Purdue Volleyball Advances to Elite 8 3-2 over BYU

Raven Colvin is a goddess amongst women.

Purdue volleyball had an early wake-up call today, playing the first scheduled Sweet 16 match of the NCAA Tournament at 11am in Pittsburgh against No. 11 seed BYU. It definitely came out ready too, as the ladies rolled to an easy 25-12 win in set one.

That’s when the Cougars woke up though. They quickly turned things around by taking set 2 25-16 and won set 3 narrowly 25-21. Just like that, Purdue was against the wall much like last week’s second round against Dayton.

The Boilers rebounded strong, taking set 4 25-13 to force a decisive set 5, and what a set it was.
