Penn State began its 2022 season on a positive note, beating UConn 3-0 Friday night.
The Nittany Lions had a favorable atmosphere even before the first whistle — with a full house, the blue band, fellow Penn State athletes in the stands and a highly energetic crowd rocking Rec Hall.
However, the on-court efforts against the Huskies that gave the blue and white the victory.
The team did a great job finding empty spaces on their rival’s side of the court, setting their dominance from the first set with a hitting percentage of .424.
Cohesion and communication between the players were some of the notable strategies the team used.
