Wow. OSU sweeps, 30-19, 30-26, 30-21. Way to go, Buckeyes! (And what was going on there? Can't wait to see more than the score, which is all their Live Stats gives us. I guess this is where people start to complain about poor athletic dept. support for the volleyball team?)

Do you have a link to the livestats or gametracker that does not require a paid subscription?
oh, nevermind. Guess the game ended just before I posted this.
It isn't easy to win on the road in the Big Ten!!!

Oh, and BoilerUp, the link was at the OSU and PSU sites, but it wasn't really live stats. It was strictly the score, updating every ten seconds. So you couldn't tell what was happening. Hopefully, one of the schools posts a box score soon.

Thanks, Spikerthemovie! I found a cstv livestats link, but I don't pay the monthly subscription, because I live in W. Lafayette... so I get the Purdue away games on the radio. (Except last Sat. when a squirrel knocked out power for a couple hours.)
Purdue, Minnesota, and Wisconsin all have to play each other, so it was going to be a battle to the finish for 2nd - 4th place. Now Ohio State can get thrown back into the mix since they are only 1.5 games behind Purdue. Ug.
I thought Penn State had an easy rest of the schedule, and they were not likely to lose anymore. Guess they were thinking the same thing!

Oh, yeah, I'm way too cheap to pay, too. So I guess I shouldn't whine about the score-only situation. At least I know.

No. 3 Women’s Volleyball Falls To No. 23 Ohio State, 3-0 Hodge leads the Lions with 19 kills
COLUMBUS, Ohio; November 8, 2006 - The third-ranked Penn State women’s volleyball team dropped a three-game match to No. 23 Ohio State, 19-30, 26-30, 21-30, Wednesday night in Columbus, Ohio. The Nittany Lions fall to 24-2 and 13-2 in the Big Ten while the Buckeyes improve to 18-7 and 8-7 in league action.
Freshman outside hitter Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) led all players with 19 kills as sophomore outside hitter Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) recorded 11 kills. As a team, Penn State attacked at a .161 clip for the match while allowing Ohio State to hit .294, including .429 (19-4-35) in the third game alone.
Freshman setter Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) directed the offense with 38 assists and added five kills as Hodge led the defense with 13 kills and sophomore libero Roberta Holehouse (Joppa, Md.) tallied 10.
The Buckeyes won the battle at the net, outblocking the Nittany Lions 9.0 to 8.0. Sophomore middle hitter Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) led Penn State with five stuffs as Glass chipped in two.
Ohio State also claimed the service game, racking up six service aces while not allowing Penn State any.
Anna Szerszen and Danielle Meyer led the Buckeyes with 15 and 13 kills, respectively, with Meyer’s coming on .667 hitting.
Ohio State started the match out on fire, going up 14-8 on an ace and block to force a Penn State timeout. A Buckeye kill out of the break followed by consecutive Nittany Lion attack errors extended the Ohio State lead to 17-8. Penn State kills from Salyer and Hodge trimmed the deficit to seven at 18-11 but the Buckeyes responded with a kill and ace of their own to go up 20-11. Three consecutive Nittany Lion kills pulled Penn State to within six at 20-14 but Ohio State scored the next two points on a kill and Lion attack error to go ahead 22-14. Out of a second Penn State timeout, the squads exchanged points twice before an Ohio State block put it up 25-16. Another Buckeye kill and block combination but them up 27-18 before three consecutive Ohio State blocks ended the game, 30-19. Hodge and Salyer led Penn State with three kills each as the Buckeyes racked up seven blocks in the opening stanza.
Game two remained even early on, with Penn State going up 9-6 on back to back blocks - one from Glass and Harmotto and another from Harmotto and Fawcett. The teams traded points and out of an Ohio State timeout, the Buckeyes rattled off five consecutive kills to take the 12-10 lead. Penn State reclaimed the lead at 16-15 aided by kills from Hodge and Glass and a block by Harmotto and Glass. An Ohio State kill knotted the score at 16-16 and three ties ensued before the Buckeyes grabbed the 22-20 lead aided by two Nittany Lion attack errors. Another Ohio State kill put it up 25-23 and forced a Penn State timeout. Out of the break, a Hodge kill pulled the Nittany Lions to within one at 25-24 but a Penn State service error and two Buckeye kills put Ohio State ahead 28-24. The squads twice traded kills, with a Buckeye kill winning the game, 30-26.
A Harmotto overpass kill put Penn State ahead 6-5 to start the third game but two Ohio State kills and an ace put the Buckeyes up 8-6. Lion kills by Harmotto and Hodge knotted the game at 8-8 and the squads traded kills before Ohio State claimed the 14-10 lead aided by three consecutive points. The teams traded points and a Walbridge kill followed by back to back Hodge putaways brought Penn State to within one at 15-14. But the Buckeyes caught fire, scoring the next five points to take the 20-14 lead, capped by a kill and an ace. The teams traded scores and a Lion block from Salyer and Harmotto and another Hodge kill trimmed the Buckeye lead to four at 21-17. A 4-0 Ohio State run put it up 25-17 and the teams twice traded points, with a Buckeye kill putting them ahead 27-19. The squads then exchanged scores the rest of the way out, with a Buckeye kill giving them the game, 30-21.
