UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Thanks to a pair of wins inside Rec Hall over the weekend, the seventh-ranked Penn State men's volleyball team (15-9, 9-0 EIVA) clinch its 31st EIVA regular season title.
Sparked by the senior class, the Nittany Lions survived Harvard (11-11, 5-5 EIVA) in five sets (25-20, 20-25, 24-26, 25-21, 15-10) on Friday night. Then in Saturday's senior day match, the Blue and White defeated Sacred Heart (12-11, 3-7 EIVA) in four sets (25-15, 20-25, 25-17, 25-18).
With the two wins, the Nittany Lions clinched the top seed in the EIVA Tournament. That means that Penn State will have home-court advantage once again in the postseason. All matches will be played at Rec Hall on April 29 (Semifinals) and May 1 (Championship).
