Penn State may get pushed to four or five sets, but the team’s ability to win points when it matters remains to be a strength.
The No. 3 ranked Nittany Lions continued their strong start to Big Ten play Saturday night, defeating No. 16 USC in four sets (25-18, 20-25, 25-20, 32-30) to come out of their Los Angeles trip at a perfect 2-0 record.
An even start to Set 1, the Trojans found themselves holding a slight 5-4 lead after a kill by Ally Batenhorst. However, errors by USC gave easy points to the blue and white, keeping the match tied, 9-9.
