THREE-PEAT! Women’s Volleyball Wins Third Straight NCAA Title – Intercollegiate Athletics
Senior Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) led the Nittany Lions with 21 kills, while both junior Blair Brown (Purcellville, Va.) and freshman Darcy Dorton (Muncie, Ind.) contributed 13 kills each. The Nittany Lions had five players with double-digit digs led by junior libero Alyssa D’Errico (Byron, N.Y.) who posted a career-high 22. Brown made 14 saves, Hodge had 13 and junior Cathy Quilico (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) and senior setter Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) had 12 apiece. Junior Fatima Balza (Merida, Venezuela) had a team-best nine total blocks and Hodge put up five. Glass dished out 53 helpers in the match and both D’Errico and Quilico had two aces each.
Hodge, player of the year, recorded the final kill off of player of the tournament Destinee Hooker.
The Nittany Lions had not gone down 0-2 in a match during their unprecedented 102 match winning streak before last night. That is a NCAA record for consecutive wins by a women’s team in any sport. Coach Russ Rose won his 1,001st career match too. Penn State became the first women’s volleyball team to win 3 consecutive titles too. They also won 10 years ago — I saw an opening round game between the Lady Spikers and UCLA.
