the Court Scrappy defense for Louisville Rees Robbins keeps it alive Penn State goes up in gets you it's Robbins again on the pin great dig for Jillian Grimes that one's good and wow she has brought this program to new heights it's really been impressive what she's been able to create job with this with this University and this program monstrous starts of the Season too for Lille as well back to serve for Louisville Cara cressie to the middle a little to the PIN for Louisville defended by Penn State mik again denied asy Stark goes to the back row and Smart Choice by number nine tight pass and deny C Alicia glass in 2006 nice block at the net of Pence J big block here Stark on the slide to Mendon who puts it away the blocker's hand there too in a split situation well long on the serve though for Mendelson perhaps riding too high in the juice against Tennessee a big win for Lille down it goes Cameron [Applause] Hannah nice put away out of the and the big block goes up and putting that match up with uh Cameron Hannah speaking of Cameron Hannah watch how this ball floats off the hands of Hannah another 10 foot pass there for Louisville it's not good enough because great serve from Hannah better pass that time for Louisville though they were able to run the middle effectively Reese Robins very native of Louisville Kentucky final four and National Championship will be in Louisville this year and that is a born for greatness out of athleticism what a pass from Elena the labero couldn't execute though and a very good server too now a 10- foot Line pass Louisville baales themselves out of it though that that's charity loopo out to her pin and it's slowed down Penn State now with a Chance quick in the middle denied by the block oh no they're in the net it's still alive Cabo having to earn for set that time nice set from Izzy Stark out wide that was such a diff by Louisville last year and so far so good for Penn State another wild pass for Louisville ooh goes over the net in a kind of it's a nice serve from Looper but a dime of a pass and how about that Wicked swing from Maggie Mendelson not looking lost out there as a freshman impressive block to match it for Penn stap you know that was a great pass lville had all three places it to the corner and how about that attack out of the middle Taylor traml gets going what did you like most about that sequence Kristen man incoming to the booth what a scramble from Cabo oh DP to the middle wise play starter M Micah Hancock back in 2011 was a starter but Christen you started the season that year so Russ Rose corrected the stat line on that one had a lot of really good teammates speaking of really good teammates yeah it's been pretty cool sh to the pin Lena scottt flying out here how about that just a bit wide Louisville shaking their [Applause] F [Applause] wow great are trying to do something a little different deir with a serve that trickles over the net how about that swing for chess mik [Music] [Applause] swing from Looper defended by Pence Jes and through the block nice Ser what a pass by deir that's cleaned up on the cden strands back to serve for Louisville and set finished on the hot hands fantastic job first serve from Moville handled by Penn State that was well long for Taylor treml Braska transfer out of USC 10 foot Line pass for Penn State denied on the Block and that one goes down to at the hands of mik was denied start to the middle I love that she's mixing up the set location and how about that set from blockes free ball louville handled and a tip great Scramble for mik and how about that awareness for picks her Target wisely that ball is pulled well off the net and a net violation called on Louisville sophomore and goes right back at it reys Robins out of Mansfield and Hannah loads up gabo oh no miscommunication on the side of Louisville and we hope that there she was looking for the easy way out for deir was in the back row and a high flying Affair for col off to the 10- foot line out assist him right away and Hannah swings out of it down the line and a beautiful play on S louville setting position and serving position yeah P state has been spoiled with a lot stay home on defense maybe should be in a little better position for that ball defense can be tricky for those Setters that's for sure another nice serve down down the line tight set to be it's got to be frustrating for her she wants to get involved she wants the ball yeah I'd say Penn State's definitely for the tip and to the pin defended by Penn stat big swing for jurv vious denied Penn State not assist him now the defense will have to amp up there goes the middle for loville start to the outside pin in a state so far the set there a rocket of a serve really close on the call there at the net and louville was out of system again for Penn State they're getting in trouble with ball control right now louville tight to the net and Anna deir is into the net and she's one of the best servers on the team for that reason that's a cannon coming off her arm short on the free ball rmes takes care of it into the middle and a smart Moval takes care of the free ball chance and Stark what an athletic set oh my getting your seat for that one currently ranked number two pit at three and how about that P to hitting 100 not great numbers you want to be above 300 for sure at the caliber that these two teams are playing yeah well they didn't like that loss last year they made it very clear as Jillian Grimes adds to her Ace too so balanced attack for Penn State you know that Shaker colie is going to be happy with those numbers so far she's she's going for a career [Music] high nice block on the side of Louisville they need something case except for Keegan cook and his team and it was an absolute blast to watch in person big finish for Looper sure is can literally go any way at any time Stark is getting involved that ball is well in and out of the offense to see what Grimes got she has a nice set to the pin Moval is on a system they'll swing their way on of it Cher pick for Team USA tip from mik trying to get some offense in a tie game situation TI set and that is a big block and another trickler off the tape out of system now Stark finds the back row to her sister and that ball is deep parts of the game to to put the ball [Applause] [Music] away that ball is deep as well big swing for charity Lille and Loper will send the free ball right into the basket of Penn State and joust at the net won by who else but career high for her by the way and that's a wild pass for Penn State and they can't get out of it lot of aggressive serving right [Applause] now Ser set and Jess mik got the touch that she was works the middle pen St gets a nice touch there's Hannah big swing and a kill for Cameron far for Hannah that easily defended for Grimes mik out of the back row haven't seen that in a t in the second set of Team a three Time Captain mik putting the team on her back as she always does Robins with a big swing looking for the block doesn't get it set not yet Louisville says Looper is bailed out on the block of pen State on the slide denied for pen and Grimes digs out another physical play at the net Stark gets big and guess what she closes it out he senior and sister of Izzy Stark and how about an ace Stark family has to be it's a beard making her second guess her transition up to the net and cressie thought she got a tip she did the hit Stark to Stark The Sisterhood magic another tip by the beer great reaction from treml on the pin and Swinging out of trouble vicious has been awfully effective here tonight eight kills so far for her one ahead of Mendon louville out of system though for louville can't capitalize on the big serve and a tight pass is a tough one for Izzy Stark to [Applause] handle swing down the line for Goble and mik in a very tight situation double block onor on Sunday that's a beautiful ball from Stark oh it's almost over my goodness a little bit of a break serve now Now by mik and Looper handles it transitions for the pin attack and my goodness had big shoes to fill in that outside position crowd getting involved they on Penn State and on Saturday Big 10 tailgate fond memories for me and Louisville a little bit off with the pass didn't matter though what a response so surf because their surf is really nice and that's why we see a 51 situation here and howbert Robins out to the pin from Glock handled by Penn State no more double contact called if the ball stays on your side better is he Stark especially on that set too the the matchup that she has cressie is a great blocker so maybe maybe is he Stark's just trying to keep it away from her a little de be handles the pass lot less tight on that pass and Stark will set from the 10t line as well could him recover on the Block for Louisville she is with us here in the booth Kristen Carpenter was that was a fun that was a fun year yeah that was quite the journey for you as well say Setter is a pretty crucial role okay that's fair you touch every ball right and of course credit to Russ Rose for creating the dynasty we chat this is Danny bu Kelly to have former players in the mix that has head coach and how about Izzy Stark making plays theyve never played in crowds like this well he was right about that right about most things and that's a nice play by Cher a tip covered by pen [Applause] jate defensive Pursuit and didn't matter denied again [Applause] rymes with the back the beer excuse me the front row yeah and in comes pton Peterson The Freshman looking to get her team going and then finding this did the same thing to Penn State last pre-season this start with big state is hitting 700 that is that's a season high for her and really balanced attack that's a big credit to the passing and Izzy Stark the freshman Setter to have the wherewithal to use and really balanced attack that's a big credit to the passing and izy Stark The Freshman Setter to have the wherewithal to use all of your hitters they get that point so but it's really hard when you're playing against a team that's siding out at 91% the recovery Elena Scott involved in a play for Louisville there's Robins it's dug up great play by Cameron Hanah mikow somehow 1 wow yeah stunning score line Cameron Hannah back to serve looking who extended she gets the a [Applause] gosh J Mery for Louisville a stunning three set sweep and a top four win with it the service line I mean you're going to win a lot of ball games playing like that
