Needless to say, I think most of us are excited to see the team back home, safe, healthy and charged up. www.collegian.psu.edu/sports/women_volleyball/article_b19bdb86-981f-11e7-8bad-475c6d475e01.html“It’s obviously nice to finally have an extended period of time where we don’t have to travel, especially since these road trips have been so challenging,” coach Russ Rose said. “I think the players enjoy playing at home in front of our crowd, and it also makes it easier on them to do everyday things, like studying and sleeping in their own beds every night.” “We’ve played some really challenging matches so far this season, and I think our team has shown a lot of tenacity and heart in coming out on top in all of them, especially the long five-setters,” senior Simone Lee said. “I’m really proud of the way we’ve competed so far and we’re continuing to grow and get more confident every day.” There are a number of positive things Penn State will take away from the extended time on the road. However, nothing beats playing in a raucous Rec Hall. “The time on the road was fun and great for our team, but I think we’re all just so happy to be back home,” senior Ali Frantti said. “A lot of us are excited to be practicing in our home gym and for some of us it’ll be our last home opener, so I’m definitely looking forward to Friday night.”

"Last home opener," it sounds so final. I almost got misty.

Excited to be going to the matches this weekend! Taking a day off on Friday to drive up, stomp around the old grounds a little, then watch our heroines in what I hope will be 3 sweeps.

Oh I will. Turning into a family tradition. We have been to the home opening games the last four years.

Looks like Hord is #3 and Gray is #5.
Would have been really, really nice if #1 Thayer Hall chose PSU. VT'ers are saying that she had it narrowed down (pretty early on) to go to either Florida or Penn State.

Just looked at the schedule and realized that the first 4 B1G matches are away, and 6 out of the first 8 matches are away. Yikes!

Had it totally backwards. Looks like the first 4 conference matches and 6 out of first 8 are at home. What a sigh of relief.
