LOCK
HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven
University volleyball program (4-4) and head coach
Tom Justice continue
to make noise in the 2005 season, and other coaches around
the nation are listening. The Lady Eagles moved up three
spots to No. 21 in the College Sports Television (CSTV)/American
Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division II Coaches
Top-25 Poll today (Sept. 7).
After facing seven ranked opponents in
their first eight contests, including upsets of No. 16 Northwood University,
No. 21 Augustana University (S.D.) and defending National Champion and No. 3
Barry University, LHU is prepared for conference play.
“I feel really good about what the team
accomplished in our tough early-season schedule,” said Justice. “Playing
mostly ranked opponents showed how strong we were, but also pointed out
weaknesses that we need to address. I don’t think we would have been able
to grow as much had we not played in those two early-season prestigious
tournaments, and I feel that our team is ready for conference action.”
The No. 21 Lady Eagles open up
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play against IUP inside Thomas
Fieldhouse Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.
