Penn in 5. No easy wins for these two teams. Will depend on the night.

Lions in 4, I think, but I hope the bananas dance! Yes, Haterade, but I have been regularly following the Badgers since 1999, so even after the great last year versus PSU, all time series 14-49-1, so I think that is rational!

[akbar]

All things considered PSU vs Indiana was on paper going to be the toughest match this weekend and I think this will prove to be the case tonight.

PSU 3-0 over Buckeyes.

Mruzik erupts tonight and team follows her lead.

OSU is at or near the bottom in every statistical category for the B1G.

PSU is just the opposite and playing tough ball

Podraza ain't letting her team lose focus tonight.

Come on Bucks, please start better than the football team did today.

Take the lead at 15 and don't look back.

3 SE wide this set!

Nice to see the buckeyes competitive on the road against a ranked team, but it feels like they would need any close sets to have a chance tonight. Need more from Londot to stay competitive.

25-23 on an ace for PSU.

Mruzik already 8 kills in 1st set

Have a hunch the next 2 sets won't be as close

Love to see these hitting percentages across the board for PSU. Positive change over preseason!
