ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- The Elizabethtown College volleyball team has
been picked to finish first in the Commonwealth Conference by the
league’s six head coaches, the conference office announced Thursday.
The Blue Jays claimed four of the six first-place votes in the poll for
a total of 30 points, finishing ahead of Lebanon Valley College, which
gained the other two first-place votes and accumulated 28 points.
Messiah College took third with 22 points, followed by Lycoming College
(19 points), Widener University (15 points) and Albright College (12
points).
Last season, Elizabethtown advanced to the
Commonwealth Conference championship for the first time since 1995 and
finished with a 26-7 overall record. The Blue Jays lost in the
conference title match to eventual NCAA Division III champion Juniata
College, which departed the Commonwealth Conference for the
newly-formed Landmark Conference after winning 26 consecutive
conference championships.
Head coach Randall Kreider
begins his sixth season on the Elizabethtown bench with 100 career
victories, and is the reigning conference Coach of the Year after
guiding the Blue Jays to the postseason in each of the last three
seasons.
The Blue Jays open their 2007 season on Saturday, Sept. 1 in a four-team tournament at McDaniel College.
