Louisville at Penn State | Extended Highlights | Big Ten Volleyball | 09/03/2024

1st Set both a powerful lineup Junior lero Jillian Grimes is the player you are watching on their side though yeah I'm uh I'm a big fan I'm a big fan of both Laos for these teams and their job is to not let the ball hit the floor and I think they do a pretty darn good job of that well Louisville also both a pretty good labero as well Elena Scott she's a senior and she is the epitome Christian freshman center more on that story in a bit first serve underway Louisville goes big from The Middle defensively Penn State keeps it alive big scrap to start the opening Point block out to deir who opens up she is back to serve now to Penn State [Music] servery a tip into the middle of the Court Scrappy defense for Louisville Rees Robbins keeps it alive Penn State goes up in gu who wow it's just mik she had a she had a window and was actually an out of system ball Jess mik playing in her fifth year out of Leonia Michigan originally where she's from Robins again on the pin great dig for Jillian Grimes that one's good start multiple matches to open the season for Penn State for a center since Alicia glass in 2006 nice block at the net she just you know we call it when you're blocking you want to get in front of the hitter right you're just taking the charge like if it's uh if you're playing basketball great recognition of putting that match up with Cameron Hannah speaking of Cameron Hannah that's a beautiful serve just tip the [Music] top big swing from defended by P Jes and through the block goes jurv vicious nice serve what a pass by deir that's cleaned up on the side of Louisville perfect pass Camden strands back to serve for Louisville and set finish on the hot hands of JV vious Penn State takes the opening set across it's penden she's 2nd Set doing a fantastic job first serve from movable hand results by Penn State that was well long for Taylor treml your sister on your team it's actually pretty cool too so balanced attack for Penn State you know that shoeer colie is going to be happy with those numbers so far the Golden Gophers nobody thought that Minnesota had their chance against Texas in that showcase except for Keegan cook and his team and it was an absolute blast to watch in person big finish silver medalists at the 2 2012 excuse me 2012 Summer Olympics for Team USA tip from mik trying to get some offense in a tie game situation tie set and that is a big block you know you're getting that Setter out when you have a a player like Elena Scott who has hands like that Mendelson Leading The Way with seven for pen State nice pass from Elena Scott tip was an obvious one to the middle Stark uninvolved in the off defense big block to go against for Louisville and Looper will send the free ball right into the basket of Penn State and joust at the net won by who else but Jess mik especially you know Izzy Stark's front row right now she I already said she's only got two attackers fourth fifth kill rather on the night so far for Hannah and that easily defended for Grimes mik out of the back row haven't seen that ton in the second set effective there in front of the 10 foot line just uh great choice one blocker doesn't seem like the Louisville team that we've seen this past [Applause] weekend touch off the block what a scramble it's alive Penn State is in it chance to close it out for Louisville denied by the defensive P Shake it's Cameron Hannah who wants to finish it not yet Louisville says Looper is bailed out on the block of pen jate on the slide denied it's just uh that's a great that's a tough ball to tough ball to block sharp swing by Hannah and Grimes digs out another physical play at the net Stark gets big and guess what she closes it out J has 3rd Set been awfully effective here tonight eight kills so far for her one ahead of melon got a little ankle wrap job for J vicious [Music] [Applause] there swing down the line for bble and mik in a very tight situation double block onor and fond memories for me and Louisville a little bit off with the pass didn't matter though what a response Sophia madoo is is uh is a great addition to the squad she's got a super quick arm coach from 1979 to 2021 he is a legend and Katie Schumacher colie hopes to follow in the footsteps of her Mentor I mean I can attest to to a lot of alarm that we were really pumped when she got the stob yeah she's really awesome as is Danny bu boom Kelly great to have former players in the mix that has head coach and how about is he start 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 then finding the seam on the defense was J vious did the same thing to Penn State last pre-season this is he start with a big state is hitting 700 that is absurd kill they get that point so but it's really hard when you're playing against a team that's siding out at 91% she and Izzy Stark they're starting to 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 Robbins off the top of the block Penn State handled it another quick attack pulled out wide for traml Stark with the Dig Grimes with the recovery Elena Scott involved in a play for louville there's Robbins it's dug up great play by Cameron Hanah mik somehow finds the opening [Applause] Jess mik closes it out 2513 and the Penn State nney Lions kick off their home schedule with a top four win over Louisville
