Briana Holman led the Husker attack by a long shot, hitting .750 with 13 kills on 16 attempts with only one error. Anni Albrecht set a career high with 19 kills and only three errors to hit .400.

Libero Kenzie Maloney had 12 of the 51 Husker digs, and DS Sydney Townsend threw in 10 one the night. The Husker defense also recorded 7 blocks to 6.5 for Penn State. Albrecht and Lauren Stivrins each had four block assists to lead the team.
