PSU Volleyball: Greatest college dynasty ever?
Penn State just had to stress us all out last night. The Nittany (Lady) Lions went down 2-0, facing No. 2 Texas in the Women's Volleyball National Championship; but Penn State, like all great teams, found a way to win. Senior Megan Hodge (pictured above), AVCA Division I National Player of the Year, used her patented death stare to stun the Longhorns, and led Penn State to a wild comeback win.
It is Penn State's fourth national title, third in a row. The Lions also extended their current record win streak to 102, while giving coach Russ Rose his 1,001st career victory. This can only beg the question: Is Penn State Women's Volleyball the greatest college championship dynasty in Division 1-A history?

Women's volleyball, probably. Overall? I'd probably give the edge to UNC women's soccer. What they've accomplished is second to none, in my opinion.
In a sport that matters, certainly. Miami's tennis and Kenyon's swimming have equal if not greater runs. But who cares about either of those?
Scratch Kenyon as I missed the D1 reference.
UNC women's soccer run was impressive but you can't argue with a run like Penn State's. Last season they didn't lose a single set the entire year until the championship game. That would be equivalent to the UNC women's soccer team winning all their games by shutting out their opponents. So well done ladies. One of the most dominant runs in collegiate sports.
