The Daily Collegian Lions primed to continue conference dominance By Emily Kaplan FOR THE COLLEGIAN At the outset of each season, members of the St. Francis (Pa.) University men’s volleyball team create a “goal __,____ sheet” of things mciu>c they want to . accomplish. VOLLEYBALL “Have a good attitude in prac- tice, work hard all season, beat Penn State,” coach Mike Rumbaugh said. The Red Flash are hardly alone with such hopes. As the 2010 sea son approaches, it seems every team in the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) has placed a bull’s-eye on the Nittany Lions’ back —which seems to grow larg er with every bout of Penn State success. And there’s plenty of that just look at the foyer of the men’s volleyball office in Rec Hall, which is cluttered with trophies the team has accumulated.

Since 1985, when the league began to officially record statistics, the Lions have posted a 218-11 record against conference opponents, including a perfect 12- 0 2009 season where they didn’t lose a single set to an EIVA foe. Penn State’s dominance in the EIVA has lead to national success. Collegiate men’s volleyball has a unique landscape; there are only 22 Division I programs nation wide, and Ohio State is the only other Big Ten school with a men’s team.

Penn State leads the EIVA with 24 NCAA appearances. The next closest school is Rutgers-Newark, with four appearances three of which were before 1980. “Everyone in this league knows that to get to the EIVA Championship, you have to go through Happy Valley,” said Charlie Sullivan, coach of Springfield College. Yet that can be an unhappy task for EIVA schools one-third of which are Division II or Division 111 programs. As a Big Ten institu tion, the Lions have the premier resources that other schools in the EIVA lack. “We’re just a small, D-in school with no scholarships,” Sullivan said. “And they’re Penn State.” Yet the brand-name recognition can also serve as a burden.

Since 2001, nine Penn State players have been named American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) first-team All- Americans. In that span, there have been only two players from all other EIVA schools given the award. Yet despite all of the Lions’ achievements, there is little resentment toward them from the rest of the league. Most EIVA schools appreciate Penn State’s success, saying it helps with recruiting and sets a strong repu tation for East Coast volleyball.
