Penn State, Stanford, Texas, and Florida. Now that's a lineup. All 4 are ranked in the top 5 nationally.

#2 Stanford swept #5 t.u.
#1 Penn State beat #4 Florida 3-1

Sets up the #1 vs. #2 match tomorrow. Could be a preview of the NCAA title match.

Penn State's 109 game winning streak is really on the line.

Stanford leading 2-0.

In game 2, Stanford hit .667 while Penn St. hit .000. Cardinal won 25-12. It's been a long time since PSU has been dominated like that.

Stanford sweeps PSU.

Looks like the Cardinal is the team to beat this year.

Wow. When was the last time a team in any sport with a 100+ game win streak got handled like that? Stanford looked gooood. Anyone but the 'sips, I always say. Bad day for Penn State athletics...

When was the last time a team had a 100+ game winning streak no matter how it ended...

Exactly! And they got taken to the woodshed! (There have been a few other 100+ match winning streaks in sports).

Penn State lost two of the best players in program history last year in Alisha Glass and Megan Hodge to graduation. They also lost their best returning outside, Darcy Dorton who started on their national championship team last year as a freshman, to an ACL tear over the summer.

They still have a lot of talent and newcomer Deja McClendon looks very good this early in her career, but the loss of Dorton left a big hole in their lineup.

Regarding their streak, it was very impressive, but when you consider that 4 of their players (Glass, Hodge, Harmotto, and Fawcett) are already playing with the US National team, it becomes more understandable. I also think Arielle Wilson has a very good shot at making the National team as well.
