Know Your Foe
Youngstown State was picked last in the Horizon League Preseason Poll, but the Penguins are 2-0 on the young season with wins over IUPUI. YSU beat the Jaguars 3-2 and 3-1, and the Penguins were led by Josi Borum, who recorded 30 kills. Youngstown State was 8-21 last season and only picked up two Horizon League wins.
The Series
Purdue Fort Wayne has never lost to Youngstown State in its three meetings with the Penguins. The two teams last met in 2017, which saw the Mastodons take a 3-1 win. Sydney Boerst had nine kills and three blocks in that match.
Make It A Double
Katie Crowe recorded the 36th double-double of her career in the season opener at UIC. She had 15 kills and 14 digs in that contest.
The Crowe's Perch
Katie Crowe is already a member of the 1,000 dig club and is nearing the 1,000 kill plateau. She currently has 977 kills and 1,040 digs. She is looking to become the 10th Mastodon in program history to reach both markers.
