EIVA Championship Central

University Park, Pa.. - The top-ranked Penn State men's volleyball team will take on No. 11 George Mason tonight at Rec Hall at 7:00 p.m. in the EIVA title match. The winner earns an automatic berth into the NCAA National Semifinals next week in California.

The Nittany Lions improved to 54-3 all-time in the EIVA Championship with the win over NYU Thursday night in the EIVA Semifinal at Rec Hall. Penn State holds a 10-1 advantage over the Patriots in the EIVA Championship dating back to the 1986 season, but George Mason has been the only team to defeat Penn State during the 2008 season, a four-game victory in Fairfax, Va., on Feb. 15.

Tickets for the EIVA Championship are $5 for adults and $3 for youth, with Penn State students gaining free admission. Groups of 10 or more, any age, are just $2 per person. Seating is general admission and tickets will be available at the Rec Hall ticket office beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 26.

The EIVA Championship match will feature Gametracker and free live streaming video, available at www.GoPSUsports.com. There will be no television coverage for the Championship this year.
