OKLAHOMA CITY — It would be difficult to find two schools with more differing pedigrees heading into a championship match than Penn State and Brigham Young.

Penn State earned a chance to repeat with a 25-16, 23-25, 25-22, 25-21 win over top-seeded Stanford on Thursday night. The Nittany Lions (35-3) will seek their seventh title, and their sixth in eight years, on Saturday.

BYU beat Texas 25-23, 25-16, 17-25, 26-24 in the early match Thursday to become just the third unseeded team to reach the finals since the first tournament in 1981.
