UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - On senior night for the men's volleyball team, it was an underclassman who stole the show. Calvin Mende recorded 24 kills to help Penn State down George Mason in four sets to claim the EIVA regular season title outright.
On a night honoring two of Penn State's most experienced veterans in Chris Nugent and Matt Callaway, the Nittany Lions were able to do their senior justice with a gritty performance. It may not have been Penn State's best effort, but head coach Mark Pavlik was certainly happy with the response and resolve from his team.
