Yeah, we're still not good. Not even competitive against top teams. "Still not good"? PSU is 3rd in B1G. Could our standards be a little too harsh? I don't think it's too harsh by Penn St standards. 3rd rn in a down year for the conference and a distance from the top 2. that's not good by Penn St standards. Penn St standards should be at challenging FF regularly and staying in the top 10 consistently. giving the 2nd year coaching staff time and support is one thing, but Penn St is still one of the blue bloods that should aim a lot higher than the 15-20 range. from a BIG fan

I'm not sure the sports weekend for Penn State could've gone worse.

I'm not sure the sports weekend for Penn State could've gone worse. I had to look up if the women's soccer team lost. Yep, to Wisconsin. Penn State was actually No. 1 in the committee's top 16 reveal before that.

Instead, they finished fourth and are the 4-seed for the conference tournament.

Those draws with Purdue and Northwestern...smh

The soccer team has played better in the B1G tournament when they're not the # 1 seed. Winner of the B1G tournament gets an auto bid to the NCAA tournament. Top 4 seeds get home field advantage in the 1st round, doesn't matter after that; the semis and final are played in Ohio.

This is probably going to be an unpopular thought, but I feel VT is a safe space? Can someone tell me why we don’t move Jess to a 6 rotation right side? Every time I’ve seen her hit from the back row she scores. I think with her behind Mac in all rotation it will help be more deceptive where we are going. Her block is big enough and with Hannah and Alexa on the left that means that there will always be a DS in the game.
Anyway, it was a fun atmosphere yesterday!

Until this team and staff starts to let the leash out on serving we will remain status quo. A good team that's is most every match but will have difficulty advancing deep in tourney. They have to bring more heat from the service line. It's really that simple

Blowing multiple match points... ugh... So much for that comeback.
Going into our biggest home match with a loss. Yaaaay....

KSC got out coached in the match. It’s pretty clear everyone knows we are going to set the outside more than anyone in the country. The problem is, we only have one outside.
I’ve said it before, but they need to run a 6-2 so the other team isn’t just camping on our outsides, because Mac either can’t or won’t set our middles, and sadly I don’t know what’s worse.
Great job to MSU. This win probably puts them in the tournament, so great for that program.
