When Penn State landed setter Izzy Starck — the No. 1 recruit of the Class of 2024 — it hoped she could fill the shoes of former star setter Mac Podraza. What few predicted is the historic season Starck has put together, one that’s propelled Penn State to an 18-1 record and the No. 3 ranking in the country.
Starck got off to a hot start and has kept her foot on the gas, winning a Big Ten award in six of eight weeks this season.
The Viera, Florida, native was awarded her second Big Ten Setter of the Week award after a pair of stellar performances against Ohio State and Minnesota.
