Despite Penn State’s victory over Iowa, coach Russ Rose and the Nittany Lions (24-2, 13-2 Big Ten) were still unsatisfied.
The Lions swept Iowa in three straight sets (25-16, 25-23, 25-18) on Wednesday evening at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Ali Frantti stood out against the Hawkeyes (12-16, 2-13 Big Ten), posting four digs and a team-high 11 kills on .348 hitting. The sophomore said she felt good about the team’s “collective fight” even though Iowa came out strong.
Rose said Frantti’s entire game was impressive. She passed well and posted the team’s only pair of solo stuffs.
