Louisville falls to the Penn State Nittany Lions in four sets, falling just short in the national championship.
This match was bittersweet for the Cardinals, having to play without their captain Anna DeBeer after suffering an ankle injury against Pitt in the match prior.
Woman down
The first set seemed to be a good start for the Cardinals, but without the talent and volleyball IQ of DeBeer on the court, the energy was off from the start. Having a newer player in the rotation so late in the season, it throws off the usual rotation.
