Hoosiers Fall Short in Close Call with No. 16 Penn State

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Despite either holding a lead or bringing the score level in all three sets, the Indiana Volleyball team (13-14, 6-9) fell 0-3 in a contested Friday night matchup with No. 16 Penn State.
The Hoosiers had the game level in the redzone (20 points or later) in all three sets but couldn't secure the crucial points down the stretch, falling 22-25, 23-25, 22-25 to the Nittany Lions.
A match decided by a handful of back-and-forth plays saw the Hoosiers record more service aces and an equal number of blocks. Penn State dug 36 balls to IU's 29 while outhitting the Hoosiers .211 to .141 inside Wilkinson Hall.
Savannah Kjolhede equaled a game-high six blocks while Paula Cerame earned a game-high 10 digs for IU's defense.
Another short turnaround awaits IU with No. 9 Minnesota looming on Sunday in Minneapolis. The Hoosiers will have first serve from the Maturi Pavilion at 3:00 PM EST in two days' time.
