The Women's Volleyball Final Four gets underway tonight from Louisville, Kentucky as Penn State takes on Oregon. Here are five things to look out for as the night unfolds.
The Penn State Women's Volleyball team has earned a trip to the Final Four for the fifth time in the last six seasons. The Lions beat Kentucky 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-12) on Friday, and defeated #8 Minnesota 3-1 (25-19, 19-25, 26-24, 25-20) on Saturday to advance to the national state in Louisville, Kentucky.
In front of a packed Rec Hall on Sunday afternoon, the top-ranked Penn State wrestling team shutout #37 Indiana 52-0, picking up 6 pins in the process.
The No. 10 Lady Lions crushed Georgetown 97-74 behind a record-setting performance by junior guard Maggie Lucas. Lucas went on an absolute tear in the first, tallying 20 points in the first 10 minutes and 26 by the half. Her 39 points on the game broke the BJC's single-game scoring record by either a men's or women's player, and tied the third-best scoring performance by any Penn State basketball player in history.
This afternoon, Penn State held off a second half rally by Army to win 78-70. The Nittany Lions had four players reach double figures in scoring as they improved to 5-4 on the season.
Football Saturdays at Beaver Stadium migh be over until next fall, but the 2012 senior class will be at the Bryce Jordan Center tomorrow afternoon for an autograph session before Penn State Basketball faces Army.
