One year away was enough.
Missing out on an EIVA championship last season, Penn State returned to the top of its conference with a 25-19, 25-14, 25-20 sweep of St. Francis on Saturday night at Rec Hall.
The Nittany Lions (21-10) had won 17 straight titles before falling to the Red Flash in the semifinals last season, with the national championship tournament played on Penn State’s campus.
The tournament title was the 28th in Nittany Lion history.
Penn State will find out when and against whom it plays when the six-team national championship bracket is announced at 1 p.
