They did it again.
The Penn State women's volleyball team won an NCAA-record fourth consecutive national championship, sweeping Cal 3-0 (25-20, 27-25, 25-20) Saturday night at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
The fourth-seeded Nittany Lions made comebacks in the second and third sets. In the second set, they fought off two Cal set points before eventually winning the second game.
Penn State senior opposite hitter Blair Brown led all players with 18 kills, while freshman outside hitter Deja McClendon chipped in 16 and senior middle hitter Arielle Wilson recorded 12. Setter Kristin Carpenter tallied 46 assists.
Check back later tonight for more coverage from tonight's match.

And five freshmen played big minutes all season long. We’re set for a few more with these girls and Coach Rose! Who’s UConn? I want seven straight to match UCLA.
They certainly have taken over the sport. They have worked hard and have earned everything they’ve won.
The Big Ten was already the best conference in the country for volleyball (sorry Pac 10), now Nebraska enters next year to make it even better.
The left coast is left scratching their heads.
Rose does what I want Paterno to do. Re-load. Joe says we’re a young team every year. Rose never uses that crutch.
Rose also wins national championships.
Saw part of the game tonight - it was mighty impressive.
Congrats to the team
Good drawing, but funny looking mountain lion.
Go State!
