No. 3 Penn State women’s volleyball defeats No. 16 USC for 10th straight Big Ten win

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.
