MATCH NOTES AND INFORMATION
- The Nittany Lions have won 13-straight matches, tying the program's longest win streak since 2015 (17 in a row) and the longest active win streak in DI-II men's volleyball.
- Penn State is unbeaten at home with an 9-0 record and just one lost set (27-1).
- Last weekend, Penn State defeated both Princeton and George Mason on the road. Cal Fisher scored a team-best 18 kills while hitting .375 and adding four blocks in the four-set Princeton win.
- In Sunday's match at George Mason on March 20, Penn State tallied 14.0 team blocks to sweep the Patriots for the second time this season. Sam Marsh and Toby Ezeonu each had seven blocks, while seven total Nittany Lions registered at least one block.
- The Nittany Lions' record against the Crimson is 20-3. The teams last played Feb. 11, 2022 in Cambridge, Mass. Penn State came out with the 3-0 victory thanks to a combined 23 kills from Brett Wildman and Cal Fisher.
