From warmups, Alexa seems to hit the heaviest ball on the team. However she was relatively ineffective the little bit of time that she saw in the front row so maybe she just needs more time to adjust to the block/improve her shot selection Uhh this is her 4th semester here at Penn State

Lineups for both teams? Stand outs for Penn State? How was Caroline?

IMO, I think Penn State could have won in 4, but it seemed like the staff wanted to use the 4th set to experiment with the roster... trying a different lineup, inserting new subs, and in the process getting the entire bench in the game. IIRC, no time outs were called either (during the 4th), seemingly to let the players try to figure out how to fight together.
On a side note, Izzy Starck and Ava Falduto are as good as expected.

Who knows what 4 months will change but I would be pretty surprised if Grimes ended up not being the libero, but I also thought the same thing this past season about Billinovic vs Grimes and Grimes ended up winning it🤷♀️

She could be a top 10 Lib going into next season, just needs to make better second contacts

She really locked in on Franklin’s sharp shots I remember.
