Only fitting that Nicole Fawcett ends the match.  The national player of the year's kill off the block gives PSU the 25-23 win and its second straight national crown.

Now  the Nittany Lions are mugging for  the  cameras, and coach Russ Rose is doing a quick TV interview with volleyball legend Karch Kiraly.  So is Megan Hodge.

But here's a weird scene: all the celebratory balloons and confetti came pouring down on the  Stanford side.  The Cardinal have got to be  wondering what that's all about.  The Nittany Lions look good in their national title T-shirts and hats.
