No Answer For the Nittany Lions

State College, PA- For the third time this season, the IPFW men's volleyball team faced #4 Penn State. Unfortunately for the 'Dons, the outcome has been the same. The Nittany Lions swept IPFW 3-0, on Saturday night in State College, Pennsylvania.

Penn State, who won their 17th match of the season, topped IPFW by the scores of 30-22, 30-24, and 30-24.

The Nittany Lions made the most of their swings tonight, posting a team hitting percentage of .411. IPFW hit only .277, and for one of the few times this season, the Mastodons were out-blocked 13.6 to 6.0.

Senior opposite hitter Matt Zbyszewski led all players with 21 kills in the match.

Matt Proper led PSU with 14 kills.

The 'Dons are back at the .500 mark for the season at 8-8. They return to action this weekend, taking part in the Long Beach State "Active Ankle Beach Bash". IPFW faces UC Santa Barbara on Friday night (3/18) and host Long Beach State on Saturday (3/19).
