AMCC MEN'S VOLLEYBALL GAME OF THE WEEK: GENEVA @ PENN STATE BEHREND

AMCC Men's Volleyball Game of the Week:
Geneva College @ Penn State Behrend
Saturday, April 1 at 1:00pm

The AMCC Men's Volleyball Game of the week features the top two teams in conference standings -- Geneva College sits at the top of the conference with a perfect 10-0 record in AMCC play, while Penn State Behrend is right behind them with a 10-1 conference mark. A win for either team will provide a critical edge in the race for the top seed in the AMCC Championship Tournament. 

The Geneva men's volleyball team enters Saturday's match at Penn State Behrend carrying a perfect 10-0 record in AMCC play but facing a Behrend squad that is just one game behind and has defeated Geneva in the AMCC playoffs the past two seasons, including in last year's AMCC Championship match.  Eight of those ten Geneva conference victories have come in straight sets.  Jake Williams and Joshua Sangrey are coming off weeks in which they won the AMCC Men's Volleyball Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week awards, the fourth different Golden Tornadoes to receive a weekly award this season.  A win on Saturday would clinch the top spot in the upcoming AMCC playoffs for Geneva, securing home court advantage throughout the playoffs, but a win by Behrend would give the Lions the upper hand for the top seed in the postseason.

The Lions have won three in a row, including a 3-0 decision against Carlow on Wednesday night. Adrian Martinez moved 16 digs closer to the school record and now needs 19 to surpass the career mark of 895. Martinez ranks sixth in NCAA statistics in digs per set (3.42). Owen Wienczkowski led the Lions with nine kills on 21 attempts to go with three blocks vs. the Celtics. Wienczkowski ranks 22^nd among Division III in blocks per set (.925). As a team, the Lions rank 11^th in digs per set in NCAA Division III statistics (11.65), 14^th in opponent hitting percentage (.145) and 19^th in blocks per set (2.052).
