GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Penn State women’s volleyball team’s record match winning streak has ended at 109 with a 28-26, 25-12, 25-18 loss to Stanford on Saturday night in a tournament at Florida.
Penn State’s streak was the second-longest in Division I team sports, behind the 137 straight wins by the Miami men’s tennis program from 1957-1964.
During its run, Penn State lost just 19 sets. The Nittany Lions (7-1) won a record-breaking 111 straight sets from the final set of the 2007 national championship match against Stanford to the third set of the 2008 national semifinal against Nebraska.
The Cardinal (7-0) also were the last previous team to beat Penn State, winning a five-set match in the Yale Classic on Sept. 15, 2007.
