You could hear a pin drop in Holloway. Maddie Schermerhorn steps behind the service line and exhales, Purdue had just taken a one-point lead after tying it up four different times at the end of the set. The senior has been here before, she’s prepared for moments like this. She tosses the ball and jump serves it right across the net as the ball lands between three defenders. Ace. The entire gym erupts and the Boilers take the set 26-24 and clinch a spot in the sweet 16.
This one was sweet.
