Before home matches, the Penn State women's volleyball team has one warmup soundtrack that's been used all season. Freshmen Alisha Glass and Megan Hodge made the playlist, which is custom for first-year players on the team.

One of the songs featured on it is "It's Goin' Down" by Yung Joc. And Glass sometimes rides "The Motorcycle" -- the oft-imitated dance maneuver that accompanies the song -- when it plays over the Rec Hall speakers.

There would be no dancing last night.

The No. 3 Nittany Lions were downed, 3-0 (19-30, 26-30, 21-30), by the Ohio State Buckeyes last night, in Columbus, Ohio.

It was the second time in the past two weeks that the Lions (24-2, 13-2 Big Ten) were swept. A road loss to Wisconsin was came first.

"Accepting defeat is almost what we're learning and its not right," sophomore middle hitter Christa Harmotto. "We need to gain control and keep our heads."

The No. 23 Buckeyes (18-7, 8-7) last lost to the Badgers on the same road trip two weeks ago.

Led by Anna Szerszen and Danielle Meyer, Ohio State made quick work of the Lions, defeating them in just over an hour.

Szerszen, a freshman outside hitter, racked up 15 kills and Meyer, a junior middle hitter, had 13 kills and attacked at a .667 rate.

"Tonight's experience wasn't a very good one," Penn State head coach Russ Rose said. "But I think Ohio State played a very good match. They did what they needed to do to be in a position to win. I think we accepted losing."

Going into lasts night's match, Penn State was the top hitting team in the nation, in terms of hitting percentage (.314). In Big Ten matches, three Penn State players, Harmotto, Melissa Walbridge and Cassy Salyer, are, in order, the three top ranked hitters.

But last night, the Lions finished hitting .161, one of their worst statistical efforts of the season.

And Rose voiced some displeasure with the way freshman setter Glass directed the offense.

"The difference between a senior setter and a freshman setter was very apparent tonight," he said. "We need to get better ... She didn't have any confidence and didn't have any energy and you learn. I just think Ohio State needed to win, they played harder than we did, it gets them in a position to get into the NCAAs."

Penn State, No. 1 in limiting opponents hitting percentage in conference play, allowed the Buckeyes to hit for a .249 clip last night, including .429 in the third game.

"Maybe they'll bounce back, maybe they won't bounce back," Rose said. "We'll find that out."
