"We return two very strong veteran athletes in Gaby and Jenny both of whom were instrumental in our historic run to the Finals in 2019. These two veterans are working very hard with our crew of exceptional freshmen and sophomore athletes. We are a very young team, but we've made the pledge to each another to never be outworked. I see grit, determination, and passion at every practice, working hard for ever rep. I'm excited for the season and I'm excited for our potential!  "

Gaby Shreve returns for the Nittany Lions as the Libero. The Sophomore finished tenth in the conference in digs per set in 2019.
