The middle hitter for the Nittany Lions went up for the kill but got stuffed by Brayden Gall at the net. Dorn was back at the service line and converted to collect the ace. Then Charles set up Nicholas Lynch with a high ball to register the kill to put Saint Francis behind by one point. Although this was not enough to pull ahead and take the set. Penn State continues to take each set as they win 3-0.
