[LionsAndBears]

We got 1. Now let's get another!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Jurevicius playing well in 4th.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Confidence is growing.

 

[Calabrin]

Murzik really turning it on.

 

[Calabrin]

A dozen service errors. If they lose this, no one will doubt the reason.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Timeout

 

[bdgan]

Set 3, like Set 1, PSU had a 23-21 lead. Unlike Set 1, PSU finishes to win 25-23. Nebraska leads the match, 2-1

Nice comeback when it would have been easy to fold. Still an uphill battle but st least they're putting up a fight.

 

[Calabrin]

Service error for Murzik brings PSU's total to 13!

 

[Calabrin]

Back to back aces for Nebraska, and we're tied, 15-15.

 

[bdgan]

Murzik looks gassed. No energy to get to the serve.

 

[Calabrin]

6-0 run for the Huskers, 18-15, Nebraska.

 

[Calabrin]

Penn State takes their final timeout, with Nebraska in control, 20-16.

 

[Calabrin]

Nebraska's block is ruled OUT and we're tied 24-24!!!

 

[OhioLion]

[G3624]

No quit. We Are.

 

[Calabrin]

Penn State pulls it out with an 11-4 run and we're headed to a fifth set!!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Wow, what a 4th! I thought we were dead when they went on that 6-0 run.

Entertaining match! Let's get this 5th!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU had the lead in Set 4. Then Nebraska with a nice run to take the lead. PSU then battled back to 24-24. PSU was serving for the set at 25-24, but Mruzik hit it wide to make it 25-25. Then PSU was serving at 26-25, but Nebraska tied it 26-26. Mruzik with a great kill to make it 27-26. And Camryn Hannah with a kill to make it 28-26. PSU ended with a 11-4 run to win Set 4. On to Set 5 to determine who advances to play in the final.

 

[G3624]

We Are going to five. No Quit.

 

[CoolBean]

[LionsAndBears]

We look loose and Nebraska looks tight right now.

 

[Calabrin]

Murzik: 23 kills

 

[BostonNit]

What a great match. I don't even really know the sport and this is exciting as hell.

 

[Calabrin]

Epic. Truly championship caliber volleyball. Both teams have every reason to be proud.

[Nittany.Lion]

Wow!!!! Awesome!!!! I can't believe they came back to win this match.

Awesome effort by the young women. Would have been great to play Pitt in the final but oh well. Too bad for Pitt.

Unbelievable.

 

[OhioLion]

I stand corrected and admit I was wrong. Earlier in this thread, I did t see a reverse sweep.
I gladly have to change my Sunday plans!
Wowzers!!!

 

[NittPicker]

That'll be a great confidence boost going into Sunday, not that they'll need it since I'm sure they know what they're capable of.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Good night boys. It was a good night which is hopefully just the beginning of a GREAT weekend!

WE ARE!

 

[NewEra 2026]

LVille has lost five times this season. Penn State beat LVille early in the season in three sets, as did Nebraska. LVille also lost to Pitt twice before today and to Stanford once.

Penn State has only lost twice this season, to Pitt and to Wisconsin.
