The eighth-seeded\u00a0Nittany Lions (19-12), which beat South Florida 3-1 in the first game Friday, have endured a rocky season that included the September departure of All-American setter\u00a0Izzy Starck because of mental health concerns. But the Nittany Lions still have a championship pedigree as well as an All-American attacker in 6-foot-6 Kennedy Martin.<\/p>\n
