Regardless of the non-ranked victories, it was a successful weekend for the Nittany Lions. Jess Mruzik tallied over 30 kills across two games, and Saturday’s competitive matchup against Seton Hall showcased long rallies and dozens of digs from both sides of the net.
Penn State will open Big Ten competition at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20, in Rec Hall. The Nittany Lions will face off against Rutgers’ Scarlet Knights.
