It was the eighth National Title in program history and, under the leadership of Katie Schumacher-Cawley, was the first ever Division I title in the sport won by a team with a woman head coach.

The Nittany Lions close the season at 35-2 and take home the title of both national champions and Big Ten champions. Their run to the national title included wins over Delaware State, North Carolina, Marquette, Creighton, and Nebraska, before finally culminating with the victory over Louisville in front of an NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship record crowd of 21,860 fans.
