VB Holds On Twice, Prepares For Big Road Week

Purdue survived some spirited play by Maryland and Rutgers to post a couple of road wins in the run-up to their biggest week of the season; they will face #3 Wisconsin and #10 Minnesota on the road Friday and Sunday, respectively, as they try to draw within one game of the conference-leading Badgers.

Purdue 3, Penn State 2

Volleyball came back from 0-2, 13-20 down to stun #5 Penn State in five sets, as Sherridan Atkinson had a career-high 32 kills at .518 to push her over 1000 for her Purdue career. The Boilers are fifth in the conference and host MSU and Indiana this week in Holloway.

Rutgered

Purdue missed a chance to move into a tie for second in the West, losing 14-12 to a Rutgers team that has a two-game conference winning streak for the first time since joining the Big Tenteen. The Boilers will look to rebound next Saturday against Nebraska in Ross-Ade.
