Penn State remains No. 5 in AVCA coaches poll
There was no movement in the top five of this week's AVCA coaches poll, which means the Nittany Lions stay put at No. 5. Penn State did drop a set to Florida Gulf Coast in the Hampton Inn Classic, but ultimately won all of their three weekend contests to improve its record to 7-3.
