LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University volleyball team received preseason top-25 honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and College Sports Television (CSTV) landing at No. 24 in the CSTV/AVCA Division II Coaches Top 25 poll. LHU is the only team in the Atlantic Region to be ranked on the elite list. Five of the Lady Eagles first six contests are against ranked foes. LHU opens up play on Aug. 26 at the Ferris State University Tournament where they will face No. 16 Northwood University, No. 17 Ferris State and No. 14 Grand Valley State University. The next tournament comes the following weekend when head coach Tom Justice’s squad takes on No. 7 Central Missouri State University and No. 21 Augustana College. “We scheduled those teams so that we could test our players early in the season,” said Justice. “That way the players can get an idea of what they need to accomplish to get where we want to go.” The 2004 Lady Eagles finished the season ranked No. 25 in the same poll after winning the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championship and the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional Tournament, clinching a birth in the NCAA Elite Eight. ###LHU### |
