BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana volleyball team opened its home slate with a 3-0 loss to No. 2 Penn State in University Gym. The Hoosiers are now 10-5 overall and 1-2 in the Big Ten Conference while Penn State is 14-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference.
The Hoosiers held the Nittany Lions close for the beginning moments of each one of the games, but Penn State proved to be too much and took the games, 30-19, 30-23, 30-22.
"Penn State is a very good team, a very solid team," head coach Katie Weismiller said. "We saw a lot of bright spots in the match and we are definitly ready for tomorrow."
