Although the five-set loss to No. 8 North Carolina happened almost three weeks ago, the match is still something Penn State outside hitter Ali Frantti said both the team and coach Russ Rose think about.
“We try to flush whatever happens, but [the game] is a great reminder to keep motivated and to keep working,” Frantti said. “Every team is going to want to give [its] best game against us and we have to come prepared and ready.”
As the No. 20 Nittany Lions (5-3) return home for their last weekend of non-conference play in the Penn State Invitational, the team looks to carry its momentum over from the previous weekend’s three-game win streak.
