Too many attack errors and service errors gave Purdue critical points, especially in the second set. We frequently set up the ball too far away from the net causing the hitter to hit the ball long on the kill shot. We should have beaten them but we’re clearly lacking the size along the front line compared to the Boilers. Katie needs to go find some taller players for next season, say 6’4” and up!
It was Purdue's 5'10" freshman OH who beat us. He name is Chloe Chicoine. Does that sound familiar? It should. She was committed to Penn State and de-committed when Russ announced his retirement. KSC couldn't convince her to stay with Penn State.
PSU 3-1 over UMich.
25-23 25-16 20-25 25-20
25-23 25-16 20-25 25-20
Its difficult to understand why the Michigan team is so bad. They are 3-17 overall and 1-10 in Conference.
You think this is bad, wait until next year when all the portal players are gone
Hannah may, not sure about Jess and Taylor and Allie.... We could have a brand new team with a freshman setter
In the fourth set - two very glaring calls by officials against PSU.
The first claimed a 'touch' (could not see it) and the second was an obvious hit out of bounds by MSU. The points should have been ours as the set would have looked very different in the final box score. MSU had the small crowd making lots of noise that would influence motivation, and the officials at the 'table.' Unfortunately, we were out of 'objections.'

The first one (the touch), I'll give the refs a bit of a pass, as they can be tough to see. The second one (obvious hit), I won't be so generous. That was easy to see, and tough to miss. I noticed it in real time, before it was showed on replay on TV.
