By the time I tuned in, set 1 was 24-24. Starck setting. USA won at 28-26, on Starck's second serve, setting from the back row to Pierce for a great attack hitting the center of the Turkey court. If I read the starting lineup correctly, Starck did not start as setter. No, she came in after the first US time out and played the remainder of the 1st set. She did start in set 2, though. |

Ava Falduto tied for the team high with 11 digs in IC Catholic Prep’s 2-0 win over Gill Grimes’ alma mater, Nazareth Academy, in the Knights’ home opener Tuesday. It was Falduto’s season debut after returning from the U21 World Championship in Mexico.

Quite a career so far for Ava Falduto’s head coach.

On Tuesday night Nebraska drew 92,003 fans to a single volleyball match with Omaha. The Huskers always sell out the Devaney Center at nearly 8000 fans per game.
In 2022 PSU had 16 home dates for a total attendance of 45,862 and an average attendance of 2548.
In the 2008 season, with the greatest team in NCAA history, the Nittany Lions hosted 18 dates for a total attendance of 54,450, and an average attendance of 3025.
I have to think that this gives Nebraska a big edge in recruiting both freshmen and transfers!

I have to think that this gives Nebraska a big edge in recruiting both freshmen and transfers! Congrats to Nebraska for pulling that event off, it's big for college volleyball and for women's sports generally. And, yes, that level of fan support is unique in volleyball and is a huge recruiting asset. Count on Nebraska finishing in the top five annually in recruiting for the foreseeable future. However, the NCAA limits scholarships and squad size per team and there are a lot more excellent volleyball prospects than the Huskers can sign. Recruiting remains an inexact science and KSC needs to get her share of the excellent prospects and transfers that Cook can't sign. So, even with Nebraska's big advantage in fan support, they're not going to coast to the national championship every year. Joe Paterno used to say (maybe quoting someone else), "It's not the recruits you lose to other schools that kill you, it's the recruits you sign that can't play." |

You gotta learn to husk corn to really love it. Anway, I think it's unfair to compare ANY program's attendance to NE, because they all pale in comparison. I'm more curious to see how PSU's attendance compares to more comparable top 10 programs. Say... Stanford, for instance. |

Wisconsin has now firmly moved into that class over the last x years, maybe decade? Texas and Minnesota have been knocking at the door. Real comparisons begin from Ohio State and down. Of all the top attended programs, I think it's important to note that their gyms are located in cities. To be honest, I'm surprised PSU gets as many as they do; thank you football. |

And then there is wrestling. Yep! Wrestling is to PA fans what volleyball is to Nebraska fans. |
