No. 19 Ohio State made easy work of No. 10 Penn State women’s volleyball Wednesday night. The undefeated Buckeyes took down the Nittany Lions in three straight sets (18-25, 20-25, 23-25) to improve to a conference-best 12-0 record.
Freshmen stole the show on both sides of the net. Ohio State’s Emily Londot posted a match-high 13 kills, while a pair of Nittany Lions provided Penn State a much-needed spark that helped the team remain competitive.
How It Happened
Freshman middle blocker Allie Holland started for the Nittany Lions Wednesday night, replacing Serena Gray in Penn State’s starting lineup.
Ohio State got off to a hot start and jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead thanks to all-around sloppy play on Penn State’s part. Head coach Russ Rose burned an early timeout as the Buckeyes used a 3-0 run to take a 13-7 lead, hitting at an incredible .471 clip at the time.
