Men's Volleyball Season Ends Against Top-Seeded Penn State
April 26, 2007 | Men's Volleyball
The Princeton men's volleyball team saw its best season since 2003 end Thursday night at the hands of the EIVA top seed and 2006 NCAA finalist Penn State. The Tigers, who started only two seniors and will return six players who saw regular playing time during the season, could not match the Penn State hitting and fell 30-19, 30-22, 30-22.
Junior Peter Eichler led Princeton with nine kills and 10 digs, while sophomore setter Brandon Denham had 19 assists. Senior Evan Pasion had three blocks, including one solo block, and recorded one of Princeton's three aces. As a team, Princeton was unable to hold Penn State under a .400 attack percentage in any of the three games. Princeton hit a team-best .240 in the second game.
Princeton, which earned fourth in the EIVA standings and advanced to its first league semifinal with a 3-2 victory over Juniata, finishes its season 12-10.
