Penn State women’s volleyball has fallen two spots to No. 16 in the AVCA poll, the association announced Monday.

The Nittany Lions are coming off of a three-set win against Michigan and a three-set loss to Michigan State this past week.

Since falling to then-No. 16 Tennessee on September 20, Penn State has dropped significantly in the polls. The loss against Michigan State puts them at 9-3 on the year and marks the team’s first loss this season against a non-ranked opponent.

Penn State will host No. 1 Nebraska at Rec Hall at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 1. The game will be broadcasted on the Big Ten Network.
