Below are selected individual and team statistics through 9-19-2019 for the 2019 Penn State Women’s Volleyball team. My Slacker Staff has added very limited commentary (a limited effort from the Slacker Staff. Shocker, right?). You can add more (and undoubtedly better) on the DigNittanyVolleyball Forum: http://forum.dignittanyvolleyball.com/thread/944/stats-update-comments-slacker-staff
Note that our staff is famously reluctant to check their own work, let alone the work of others. So mistakes invariably creep in. Please let us know if you spot one (or several). And our apologies in advance.
