As No. 5 Penn State continues through its first week of Big Ten conference matchups, it will face yet another unranked team.
On Saturday, the Nittany Lions will host Rutgers for its second conference match of the season after a straight-set victory against Michigan State.
“Everything changes when you start Big Ten play, that’s really your ticket to get into the NCAA’s and determines how you perform in conference play,” coach Russ Rose said.
In 2018, Penn State defeated Rutgers twice in the two teams’ home-and-home series. The Nittany Lions swept both matches in straight sets.
