UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The energy in Rec Hall was palpable from the first serve, but such is the usual setting when it comes to EIVA conference play inside the historic building. Friday night's conference opener had an added electricity in the air though, as Penn State and Saint Francis met on the court for the first time since last year's EIVA Championship event.
Penn State came out with a determined and dominant performance in its conference opener, closing out Saint Francis in straight sets in front of a raucous Rec Hall crowd.
