NCAA voleyball 2024. Louisville vs Penn State

and it will be Angelina Stark back to serve he senior and sister of Izzy Stark and how about an ace Stark family has to be happy with that [Applause] one trying to pick on Anna De Beer there who's the uh passer hitter here she's front row that's a beautiful serve right on the line of Anna De beir making her second guest her transition up to the net and cresy thought she got a tip off the block and she did you say the call was yep touch off the block that there was a touch otherwise Danny Busom Kelly was marching to the green card to challenge and Anna deir back to serve Moville being tested early in the season here against the nitty Lions middle back hit Stark to Stark The Sisterhood magic another tip by De Beer great reaction from treml on the pin and Swinging out of trouble Caroline J vicious with a vicious swing there is so much power behind that arm I mean you're looking to see if there's a dent on the floor after something like that and a great been awfully effective here tonight eight kills so far for her one ahead of Mendelson mouille responds promptly to tie it early in set number three this is a Do or Die situation for Louisville Cressy doing her job she's she's good at the quick attacks she's good off of one foot she's a solid middle attacker for this L Louisville offense Cressy back to serve now for the Cardinals we'll see what she does with it and that's a BB over to Grimes out of system though for Louisville can't capitalize on the big serve and a tight pass is a tough one for Izzy Stark to handle close to the net and she was called in the net as well so either way Louisville will take the points Cara cressie she has a very high contact point on this serve it's very floaty even Jullian Grimes struggled with it she doesn't struggle with much on serve receive that's for sure we'll keep an eye on it another Big Sur Grimes handled it that time challenge accepted nice set for Stark a little bit beyond the pin but still put her hit her in a one-on-one situation Dura vious still finds a way to make something out of almost nothing and how about that response from Grimes you love to see it a dime of a pass a little bit out of location there on the set look like a little ankle roll with jici just landed right on it oh but she's okay yeah hopefully she is fine looks like she is according of the reaction out is the call and Penn State will recover the serve Ava fudo The Freshman defensive Specialists out of Elmhurst Illinois will take over get a little ankle wrap job for J vicious [Music] [Applause] there swing down the line for bble and in a very tight situation double block on her and she can't handle it all Izzy Stark saying my bad put you a little too tight beo back in the Freshman Center out of Florida at 17 assists against Tennessee on Sunday that's a beautiful ball from Stark oh it's almost over my goodness a little bit of a break there for pen J Maggie mendleson maybe knows she should have been on that ball as the middle blocker you don't see that many uh those types of Errors from Louisville often they're so Scrappy and their their ball control is so great you rarely see something like that so that was a little surprising there served Now by mic and Looper handles it transitions for the pin attack and my goodness that's not easy to do to pass and then load up on the approach she's got Springs in her feet she jumped so high and her approach was inside the court had big shoes to fill in that outside position crowd getting involved they think they that they took that point getting a little loud and Rowdy before a serve well Penn State would love nothing more than to reverse the script of what happened to them last season nearly a year ago it was September 10th in this pre season match up between these two teams louville took him out in three sets left a bad taste in the mouth of the nney lion Smith serve there Elena Scott back to serve for Louisville Danny bus boom Kelly looking a little concerned on her side understandably so in a two set hole currently on Penn State [Applause] and on Saturday Big 10 tailgate is live from right here in Happy Valley to set the scene for a full day of football the fun begins at 10: a.m. eastern 7 Pacific only on the Big 10 Network and the Fox Sports app brings back fond memories for me and Louisville a little bit off with the pass didn't matter though what a response Sophia meldon Oz takes care of it at 11 kills against Tennessee on Sunday hitting over 400 n Diaz is uh is a great addition to the squad she's got a super quick arm and also stays in Surf because her surf is really nice and that's why we see a 51 situation here and how about that swing from Cameron Hannah finding the opening yeah again that matchup with uh Cabo on the front row doesn't usually play the front row like that um blocking Izzy Starks all that matchup and uh what a what a put away from Cameron [Applause] Hannah quick arm for Robin out to the pin from Glock handled by Penn State no more double contact called if the ball stay is on your side which was the case for Penn State new rule change this year and perfect example there now if that second ball went over at the hands of Hannah that would have been called a double I would imagine what a play by mik Looper thought that ball was going wide veteran shot just manage the game wow and it's a floaty gym meaning there's a lot of air circulating here at Rec Hall we're going to be probably working on this this week in practice made it to the the Elite 8 last year it is their fourth trip to the Elite 8 got knocked out hoping for a different story this year in Moville and there's a tip covered by Pence [Applause] jate defensive Pursuit and didn't matter denied again Mado Diaz she's been lighting it up at the pin have another look back at this point starting with the defensive scramble on the side of Penn State how about this right place at the right time for Izzy Stark but still a little too much Louisville puts it puts it away Eva f dudo with a nice dig there Lena Scott back to serve perfect pass from Grimes Ben State loading up in the back row Jess mik has to feel good about getting a kill off of Elena Scott and mik has eclipsed the 1500 career kill mark how about it and it was [Applause] [Music] Sensational my goodness the de body in [Applause] that Grimes with the back set love to see that you spent some time as the learo position as well you can speak to some of the difficulties of finding your options when Stark is taken out and a very interesting substitution on the side of Louisville here's another set first though how about that from the Baseline for Grimes you don't see that often and coming out of the back row was Anna deir excuse me the front row yeah and in comes Payton Peterson The Freshman looking to get her team going and finding the seam on the defense was JV vious so why do you think that decision was made on the side of Louisville to take out your Ace will answer that question on the other side of the break a seven-point lead now for Penn State Moval in some trouble why do 80% of NFL players choose a Sleep Number smart bit because find that and look out for the rest of the field cuz that's a dangerous connection to face great dig by Grimes full scramble and mik tried to tap it over Robins off the top of the block Penn State handled it another quick attack pulled out wide for traml Stark with a dig Grimes with the recovery Elena Scott involved in the play for Louisville there's Robins it's dug up great play by Cameron Hanah mik somehow finds the opening in a brick wall of a block I was about to say she had four very strong hands in front of her I'm not really sure how that went through um but what a rally here in recck Hall everybody's looking a little like they need a little break got a couple especially those middles those poor midds having to go pin to [Music] pin 2213 wow yeah stunning score line Cameron Hannah back to serve looking to Extended she gets the ace my gosh I mean that just dropped they didn't even have time to to to make a a step towards it Penn State two points away from taking the match Cameron Hannon looking to send another cannon into play that time handled by Louisville they run the middle Robins goes for the tip she gets Den Ned not by the block but by the net and we have a match point on the side of penate team set [Applause] and just m closes it out 2513 and the Penn jate nitty Lions kick off their home schedule with a top four win over Louisville a stunning three set sweep and a top four win with it wow like just wow that was uh that last set was a near flawless
