Penn State needs to get its momentum back.
For a while, the team was on a roll, winning five straight games. Then Hawaii happened.
The three losses there were not devastating — against three elite teams — but since then, Penn State has gone 2-2 against teams that it had the chance to beat.
“We have four more regular season games left, and the play off push just kind of started last week,” outside hitter Frank Melvin said. “This is just another opportunity for us to get ready for EIVAs.”
Forced depth
The most recent loss was handed to Penn State by Harvard in a game where the Nittany Lions were missing three of their starters.
