A scouting report by the VBelo Rating System twitter account. They’re quite complimentary of Penn State (as they should) Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

Does anyone have any insight into why PSU is not playing Sacred Heart this year? That's been the one game I have been able to see them play in person (in Fairfield, CT).

Sacred Heart, Saint Francis Univ., and Saint Francis Coll. - Brooklyn has moved to their home conference. Other schools from the NEC has picked up MVB (FDU, LIU, Merrimack, D’Youville and Daemen). They’re playing schools from the NEC but most of them are traveling to PSU (Merrimack, SFU and Daemen) and only traveling to Loretto, PA. Just purely based on schedule, it would seem that they really tried to schedule strong for their away games.

Here’s an interview from VolleyballMag.com done by Rob Espero. He interviews one coach from each of the conferences including our very own Mark Pavlik. (He’s the first one interviewed)

PSU wins in 4 against Central State 25-15, 24-26, 25-19, 25-12
No Wildman and Fisher today.
Pav started Valenzi, Kowal, Rose, Ezeonu, Bogner and Kerr.
I thought Owen Rose was quite impressive in his first game he had 11 Kills hitting 0.786. Valenzi was pretty steady leading everyone in kills with 12 (0.333). Bogner seemed to struggle connecting with pins at first but got better as the match went on. Kerr and Shampine were good at opposite. They have a different style from Fisher but they were terminal as well. Merk had a great first match of his career. He led the team with 12 digs and was excellent on serve reception.

Excited that today's match is on BTN Plus - I wish last night's match would have been broadcasted... thanks for the summary!

John Kerr is making the most of the opportunity to play (while Cal Fisher is out injured). 21 kills... wow.
