UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The end goal was so close, they could almost taste it.

Penn State's roller coaster season came to a difficult close Thursday night after the Nittany Lions (21-10) fell to the top-seeded Lewis Flyers (27-3) in four sets (20-25, 25-22, 16-25, 20-25) at Maples Pavilion on the campus of Stanford University.

"I think we created opportunities, and I thought we got some good swings, but we could not score points easily against [Lewis]," head coach Mark Pavlik said. "I thought we had some good swings against them, but that I thought was the difference."

For the four seniors, it was difficult to say goodbye to a program that has meant so much to them.
