Penn State women’s volleyball has been ranked No. 13 in the latest AVCA poll, the association announced Monday.

The Nittany Lions jumped three spots to No. 13 from No. 16 last week.

The climb comes after a scorching week for the Nittany Lions, who have won three straight matches, including wins over then-ranked No. 10 Oregon and then-ranked No. 18 Indiana.

Penn State will try to keep climbing the rankings as it returns to Rec Hall on Thursday, October 29, to take on Ohio State.
