OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- The Penn State women's volleyball team captured its seventh national championship on Saturday, Dec. 20, sweeping BYU in straight sets (25-21, 26-24, 25-14) at Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. Claiming the title in six of the last eight years, the Nittany Lions now have more national championship than any other women's volleyball program in history.
Having not lost an NCAA title match since 1998, the straight set victory marks the third time that Penn State has swept its national final opponent. The win is also the first time that PSU has won back-to-back crowns since 2009-10, when the Nittany Lions completed the second half of its historic string of four straight from 2007-10.
"I thought we had a great game plan," head coach Russ Rose said. "I thought the players worked really hard at executing it, and we feel great about tonight's result."
