I believe that makes PSU the first BIG team to go West and sweep UCLA and USC. Well done ladies!
Yes but it was a struggle. I think this is a very good PSU squad but not on the level of Pitt or Nebraska.
What's going on with Jurevicius? The announcers aren't clear on whether she's injured or being disciplined. I'm no expert but it seems to me that one of PSU's problems is their outside hitters aren't overly powerful. Jurevicius brings some of that power and she's a good blocker.
@LionsAndBears -- thanks for the updates. Sounds as though the 4th set was crazy. I'm glad I DVRed it, and look forward to watching.
I think the announcers said last night that Alexa Markley had started the last couple of matches because Jurevicius was having some shoulder issues.
So I finally had some time to watch the 4th set. I fast-forwarded in what the DVR had recorded, and ended up stopping, purely by chance, at the end of the 3rd set. Perfect timing; this should be good. USC goes on a run of 6 points (I think), and gets over 20 points while PSU is still in the teens. Even though I know the final outcome, I'm getting nervous. And then, the recording indicates that I've reached the end -- I had set it to record the entire event, but for some reason I didn't even get the end of the 4th set. So frustrating.
I always add an hour to any recording of live events. I also add time to anything I record following a live event.
You worry when an OH tries to kill it against a 3-person block, but Camryn did pretty well on this:
sometimes, you just get lucky:
and Trammell also gets lucky:

Whoever posts the PSU tweets now needs to learn that the home team score goes on the bottom. It's been a pet peeve of mine seeing their tweets this season, I had missed a game earlier and saw their tweet and mistakenly thought it was a road game when it wasn't. Also the weird cursive font they are using is practically illegible on a small screen such as a phone. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
The match against Wisconsin concerns me. Wisky is really tall, and cause problems with their front line depending on the rotation. They had been playing really well of late. Then they faced Nebraska this past weekend, and got taken apart, as Nebraska won 3-0. So you have a really good Wisky team that is also coming off a loss, so they'll be motivated.
