Re: Penn State Volleyball on life support

several years ago, they changed to rally scoring, meaning points on every serve, but bumped it from 15 to 25 points (the 5th game, which was 15 points rally scoring already, remained the same)

Re: Penn State Volleyball on life support

as i recall, you only got points when you served. i guess they change the rules to move the game along now....

I think they mean soccer not football.

You are correct. From the UNC website:

Aug. 30, 1986: defeated UMass, 4-0, in the 1986 season opener, first of an NCAA record 103 games without a loss.

According to a SI report after Penn State beat Penn on Dec. 4:

The streak is the second-longest streak in Division I team sports behind only the 137 straight match wins by the Miami men's tennis program. Penn State last loss in September 2007 to Stanford.

I know jack **** about volleyball, but that was pretty **** intense. Wow, nice work PSU!

I used to play and coach and have watched a lot of high end VB and that may have been the best yet. Sorry I tuned in as late as I did. Two amazing teams playing an amazing match.

Re: Penn State Volleyball on life support

Anyone know the all-time winning streak record in the NCAA, regardless of division, sport, gender, etc? Just curious.

ESPN was showing a count-up of all the streaks throughout the season, but I think it was just D1. The largest they showed was 154 by Miami, FL tennis in the early fifties.

Trinity men's squash has the best in the history of college varsity athletics, 202 the last count I could find, but squash is only an NCAA sport for women, not men.

Re: Penn State Volleyball on life support

Mount Union won 55 straight.

Wikipedia says Penn State's 102 is second to:

College Football (Women's)

169 games—1986-1990 North Carolina

* Streak started September 30, 1986
* Streak ended September 17, 1990

Major sports streak would be Penn State, followed by UCLA's 88 game steak under Coach Wooden.

What was that DIII football team (IIRC)? They had a very long streak. Wasn't GVSU, maybe it was Union? Or Mount Union (the school Pierre Garcon is from).

Mount Union won 55 straight.

Cael Sanderson was something like 150-0 in his four years of wrestling at Iowa State.
