Their finish led PVA to a "third overall" club finish for the weekend!

This was the last tournament for the 18s team and the last club event for the 10 seniors. We wish all of the PVA seniors the best of success with their collegiate careers!

15 Navy at Happy Volley

The 15 Navy team finished their season at Penn State over Memorial Day Weekend. Friday night they tied for 3rd in their pool and then battled out "come from behind" wins in both tie-breaker games to earn 1st place in the pool. The girls really worked hard and used a series of very tough serves to over-come a 0-8 defecit in the 2nd tie-breaker! They were rewarded not only with a great win, but also with a team photo with two of the Penn State players!

PVA congratulates the 15 Navy parents and players for a season of hard work, enthusiasm and commitment!

We extend a special thank you to coaches Kara & Kim for their effort, skill and enthusiasm!

Go PVA 15 Navy!
