The excitement is building in Happy Valley for the 2024 NCAA Division 1 champions, Penn State women’s volleyball, to take the court once again. The team announced that two Penn State rivals will be coming to campus to face off against the Nittany Lions in University Park.

Penn State will take on Villanova on Saturday, April 11. The Wildcats come to Rec Hall with state pride on the line. The Nittany Lions have had the upper hand in the series, holding a 4–3 all-time record, including wins in the past three series.

Penn State will then welcome Maryland on Sunday, April 11. The Nittany Lions will enter the game with confidence after their most recent meeting with the Terrapins. They earned a dominating 3–0 victory on Senior Day at Rec Hall on November 23.

Both matches are part of an important stretch for the Nittany Lions, as they look to continue the success of their program going into the 2026 season.
