No. 13 M. Volleyball Sweeps Harvard, WGYM Finds Success in Texas

With the excitement of THON this past weekend, it was easy to divert one’s attention to the happenings inside the Bryce Jordan Center. However, our Penn State spring sports teams were out competing for the Blue and White across the country as students helped raise $10 million for the kids.

  • 13 M. Volleyball (9-6, 4-2) found success at home against Harvard this past Wednesday, sweeping the Crimson Tide 3-0 in front of a crowd of 450. Lee Smith (Sewickley, Pa.) added 16 kills and Luke Braswell (Manchester, Pa.) led the team with 43 assists.




  • Volleyball struggled at home this past Sunday against EIVA foe Sacred Heart, falling 3-1. Aiden Albrecht (Old Bridge, N.J.) contributed a team-high 14 kills and Royce Clemens (York, Pa.) added 13 digs. The team heads to Virginia this week to take on George Mason, another EIVA conference member.




  • MGYM visited the wild west this weekend as the team competed in the Winter Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sophomore Michael Burns (Baltimore, Ohio) came in the top 20 in the finals, tying for 14th on the parallel bars. The team had a quick turnaround, arriving at THON Saturday night only to win the Varsity Athletics Pep Rally, a coveted achievement at Penn State.




  • WGYM found success in the south, as Sabrina Garcia (Etters, Pa.) secured the all-around title with a 39.400 career-best. Briannah Tsang (Vancouver, British Columbia) won the balance beam title. Nicole Medvitz (Paramus, N.J.) tied for second place on the beam with a 9.900.




  • Tennis (3-4) found a difficult competitor in No. 4 Ohio State, and suffered a shutout loss to them this past weekend. “Credit to Ohio State, they are a very good team and played well today, "said head coach Chris Cagle. "We will take some things from today and get ready for the upcoming matches next weekend."




  • Softball (5-4) notched a win at home against Virginia Tech, 7-1. Pitcher Madison Seifert (Wildwood, Mo.) gave up just three hits to the Hokies for the duration of the game. The team participate in the Chanticleer Showdown this coming weekend in South Carolina.




Congrats to our athletes and our student body for their wins on and off the field this weekend!

    Prove It

    In the end, despite the disappointment, Penn State proved they could absolutely go toe to toe #1 Oregon. Had the Nittany Lions played cleaner, the outcome may well have been in our favor. Our team never stopped battling, not even when they were down 28-10. They could have let Oregon put the game away at that point, but they proved their resilience and their right to belong among the best in the nation.

    WHAT!!

    Penn State is the most exciting and resilient we’ve seen in years and I am here for it. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so pumped to see what happens next. We’ve taken care of the little things all season and now the big things are taking care of themselves.

    Championship Mentality

    Belittle us all day. Call for our coach’s job. Tell us we’re not a top five team. See if we care. We are 10-1 with a championship mentality. We are tuning out the noise and keeping our eye on the prize. We are gritty, resilient, and full of heart. We are Penn State.
