And between the three of them, there were 36 kills against Ohio State. But that's not all that got the crowd going. They cheered with every side out. And they jumped to their feet when, in game three, the score reached 14-9, Penn State, anticipating the win. It's these crowds that the women would like to see during their next three games, all of which are at home.
Attendance does play a factor.
But more important than the crowd is how the Lady Lions play. So far, so good. The team has already showed signs of such a trend as they settled into Rec Hall this weekend. They met as a team after Friday night's match against Purdue to discuss what they could change to play better against Ohio State. That change included smarter play and a rise in intensity, said Higley, who led the team in kills both games.
