Home Opener for Women's Volleyball against Maine Fort - Kent

(McKeesport, PA)

It will have been 656 days since Penn State Greater Allegheny Women's Volleyball played a match that counted towards their win/loss record. 

Where we last left off was an appearance in the USCAA National Championship 3rd Place game and a defeat to University of Cincinnati - Clermont.

Some players have come and gone during the time since then but most have stayed as Head Coach Alyssa Finocchi tries to earn a return trip to Virginia Beach and the USCAA Championship.

Things get under way on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 7pm at the Wunderley Gym against Maine Fort Kent.

"UMFK is a very good non-conference game for us to start out with. They will be very competitive and I'm expecting to go into 4 or 5 sets with them. We can use this for a fast paced back and forth game and to be able to see what we will need to change and work on for more upcoming non-conference games next week" said, Finocchi.

GA returns a group that has seen significant court experience with all but a handful of players either new to the roster or playing their first game because of last year's cancelled season.

After Thurday's match, things kick into high gear with Labor Day weekend Tip-Off tournament at Penn State Beaver.

Finocchi added, "The girls are very excited to get back out on the court and I can't wait to see the whole team out there together after a 2 year gap."
