UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Playing on the road is never easy. Entering a packed gym with fans rooting for your opponent can be tough. But silencing the crowd makes it all worth it. The Penn State Women's volleyball team is on the road for the next four matches. The Nittany Lions (21-2, 10-2 Big Ten) face Maryland on Thursday and Rutgers on Friday. The team is playing two matches in less than 24 hours, with travel included. This weekend, the team is traveling by bus. This means a few hours of travel time to focus on the matches ahead.
