BEHREND WINS MVB CROWN, AUTOMATIC BID TO NCAA TOURNAMENT

Penn State Behrend won it's second AMCC title and first trip to the NCAA Division III tournament with a 3-1 victory over Geneva College in the 2022 men's volleyball championship. 

The top seeded Lions took the first set (25-19), third set (25-17) and fourth set (25-18), while Geneva won the second set (25-23).  The victory avenged a pair of regular season losses to the Golden Tornadoes.
