Lady Eagle Volleyball Ranked 24th in Final Coaches Poll

   
  (Lock Haven, Pa.) - The Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania women’s volleyball team earned a No. 24-ranking in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Final Top 25 Poll released on December 10. It is the first appearance in the final national rankings for any Lady Eagle team, and it is the first time in the Top-25 by any squad from the Atlantic Region all season.
            The 2003 Lady Eagles went 31-6, earning a share of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division regular season title, winning the PSAC tournament crown and the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championship before advancing to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. The Haven ended its season in the national quarterfinals in a 3-2 loss versus the University of North Alabama , the eventual national champion.
           One of the best seasons on record, the 2003 campaign included a 13-match win streak during mid-season rivaled only by a 19-match stretch in 1999.  The Lady Eagles posted the second-best win percentage in program history at .838, and produced the third 30-win season at the Haven.  The season win-loss record brings the Haven program and 13th year head coach Tom Justice to a 278-182 (.604) career ledger.
          The full listing of the season-ending edition of the AVCA’s Division II Coaches Top 25 Poll can be located at www.avca.org.


The 2003 Lady Eagles were ranked #24
