11/16/08

In a flurry of weekend activity, AMCC soccer and volleyball teams represented the conference well in both NCAA and ECAC tournament competition.

AMCC regular season champion Penn State Behrend volleyball brought home the hardware in the ECAC South Region Tournament.  As the #3 seed, they made it to the finals and defeated #4 Cabrini, 3-2.  Senior defensive specialist Brittany Hennessy was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.  She had 30 digs in the championship and ranks as the school's all-time leader in that category.  Earlier in the week, Frostburg State fell to Washington-St. Louis, ranked #4 in the country, in the Great Lakes region round of the NCAA tournament, 3-0.

In soccer action, the Medaille men put a scare into five-time national champion Messiah, losing 2-1 in overtime in the NCAA tournament.  Penn St. Altoona's women, undefeated in the regular season, suffered a 1-0 loss to Otterbein in their first trip to the national stage.  Meanwhile, the Frostburg State women dropped a heartbreaker to Swarthmore in the championship game of the ECAC South tournament, losing on penalty kicks by a 5-4 margin.  Medaille's women also lost on penalty kicks (4-2) to RIT in the semifinals of the ECAC Upstate bracket.

At the NCAA Mideast Regional, the Penn St. Behrend men were the highest finishing conference team, placing 14th in a field of 43 teams.  Sophomore Andy Iams was the fastest AMCC man, coming in 34th with a time of 26:25.  For the women, Frostburg State had the strongest conference performance, recording a 14th place team score.  The Bobcats were led by senior Jennifer Patton who came in 30th with a time of 23:24.
