PENN ST. ALTOONA'S PETERMAN NOTCHES 100TH WIN

The Penn State Altoona women’s volleyball team’s 3-0 win over Albright College on Friday, October 10 represented a milestone achievement for head coach Phil Peterman, as it marked the 100th win of his career.

Peterman, an Altoona native and graduate of Saint Francis University, is in his seventh season at the helm of Penn State Altoona’s women’s volleyball program since his hiring prior to the 2008 season. During his tenure, the Lady Lions have experienced much success. In 2011, he led his team to the program’s second-ever Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference title, sweeping Pitt-Bradford 3-0 to clinch the championship. That year, the team posted a perfect 9-0 record within the AMCC, notched 18 wins overall, and qualified for berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Peterman also guided his team to Eastern College Athletic Conference Tournament appearances in 2009 and 2010. During the 2010 campaign, the Lady Lions recorded a program-best 23 wins and advanced into the semifinal round of the ECAC Tournament.
