I really enjoyed watching Penn State at the Big Ten media day. Coach Katie, Taylor, and Anjelina were direct, calm, laid back, witty, confident, and at the same time- all about business. They did an outstanding job representing Penn State. Looking forward to a great season!!!!

I loved Taylor mentioning the men's team, too...seems that the overall support made an impression on her.

Had to stop when Coach referred to the team members -- old enough to die in uniform for our nation; old enough to sign binding contracts -- as girls. I have come to expect this kind of disrespect from male coaches, but not women. Please, Coach: 1) recognize that you coach women (NCAA so labels it). 2) Normalize the use of the word women. 3) Celebrate women. If you don't, who will?

I also think it's better to refer to collegiate female athletes as "women" (vs. girls), but I don't think KSC referring to the team as "girls" was a sign of disrespect or her not celebrating them as women. I feel like KSC said - and says, "girls" with affection... kind of like how close women would say of each other, "these are my girls". Plus with her being a #girlmom, perhaps she sees the team as her "girls" in some motherly coach type of way. That said, I don't know KSC personally so I don't know the intent behind her words, but it's clear from every interview how much respect and appreciation she has of her team, so I don't think she meant any insult. But yes, I'm with you that collegiate female athletes being recognized as "women" should be the standardized norm, but I'm also for women and girls being able to refer to each other however way they want.

Most of the female college players I know refer to fellow teammates as girls on their team; not women on their team. It seems to be the term they are most comfortable with. I feel as long as a word is not intended to be derogatory or disrespectful I'm not going to quibble about it.
I'm old school. I acknowledge the new woke world may have passed me by.
I do think "women" is the better term when speaking about some title IX or historical gains of females in sports.

The 2022 Penn State Women's Volleyball team kicks off its preparations for the 2022 season today with some preliminary NCAA compliance matters. Practice starts tomorrow. They've also started to update the listings in their 2022 online roster (they have information now for newcomers Taylor Trammell, Seleisa Elisaia, Mandi Morioka, and Katie Hurta, and I assume they'll update the remaining four this week or next. They still need photos for all eight), so we've updated the 2022 Roster on DigNittany to reflect that. Here's the link: dignittanyvolleyball.com/2022-roster/For those who missed it, here's an article with a rundown on the roles those newcomers may play in 2022:
