Senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Hord's career-high 24 kills led Penn State to a Penn State 3-2 win over the Spartans.

Although Penn State struck first, four unanswered Buckeye scores ultimately led Ohio State to another win over the Nittany Lions.

Unlike in last night's comeback win, the Nittany Lions showed no signs of struggle in this matchup.

Penn State held a 1-0 lead and controlled play until Ohio State scored two goals in the final four minutes of the second period.

The Nittany Lions battled back from a slow start to grab their fifth win of the season Friday night.

A late goal wasn't enough to punch Penn State's ticket to the Big Ten title game.
