Brown made 14 saves, Hodge had 13 and junior Cathy Quilico (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) and senior setter <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Alisha Glass<\/span> (Leland, Mich.) had 12 apiece. Junior <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Fatima Balza<\/span> (Merida, Venezuela) had a team-best nine total blocks and Hodge put up five.

That is a NCAA record for consecutive wins by a women&#8217;s team in any sport. Coach <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Russ Rose<\/span> won his 1,001st career match too. Penn State became the first women&#8217;s volleyball team to win 3 consecutive titles too.
