Steve Manuel is a Penn State professor and a great photographer who kindly shares his work with DigNittanyVolleyball. There’s that old saying about a picture being worth 1,000 words. I think in the case of Steve Manuel’s photos, it’s even more. Here are five photos from last night’s match with Pitt at Rec Hall, and two more he just sent from the Stanford match on September 13th. I know some will differ on this, but these photos say last night’s loss wasn’t about lack of effort.

So if not lack of effort, are you implying that the coaches did not have the team properly prepared? I love the effort that Jena showed diving into the seats to make the save, but sitting in the gym for the match, I did not see that same level of effort from some of the other key players. Yes, they are a young team and it will be interesting to see how they bounce back from this adversity on Sunday. Probably not a good feel for the team as we last lost to Pitt in ‘87 and we have not been swept in Rec Hall since ‘86.

Pitt in my estimation came in with a big chip on their shoulder, They are a very good team that had extra motivation to win. They probably thought they were step children and wanted to prove otherwise.

Certainly, the team looked bewildered. |
