NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. – Now 3-12 overall, Penn State New Kensington women's volleyball was defeated by Penn State Dubois Wednesay night.
Falling 25-11, the first set was a downfall for New Kensington. They managed to score more points on Dubois during the second set, but it wasn't enough, and Dubois took the set 25-15. With New Kensington starting to get their motivation back, they went out onto the court with aggressive mindsets for the third set.
