The men's volleyball team are in the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) finals after beating Springfield College 3-0 on Thursday night. After a season of ups and downs, the team will be competing for its twelfth straight EIVA title tonight at 7 p.m.
Standing in their way is Princeton, the number two seed in this year's tournament. Princeton defeated the three seeded George Mason in the first semifinal on Thursday, 3-1.
The winner of this matchup will go on to the NCAA men's volleyball tournament, which consists of three conference champions and one at-large bid. Neither Penn State nor Princeton will earn the at-large bid, which adds even greater importance to the final tonight.
Penn State hopes to extend their season tonight, so go and support the team in their final, and most important, home game of the season in Rec Hall at 7 p.m.
Attention Big Ten teams! Penn State's Beaver Stadium just got louder.
Penn State is shifting the student section for the 2011 season, and Guido D'Elia, director for communications and branding for Penn State football, believes it will amplify the crowd noise to unprecedented levels. The new student section will sit perfectly behind the south end zone.

Most students hate purchasing and selling textbooks each semester. They’re grossly over-priced, and when you go to sell them back, a book that cost you $200 is now magically worth $40, yet sold for $200. It doesn’t make much sense, but most of us do it twice a year. In order to combat this, the University Park Undergraduate Association implemented the student Book Exchange program, where students sell and buy books from other Penn State students for no additional costs or surcharges.
The plan has been around for almost two years, but the UPUA has been working on some spiffy updates: a quick search option, a more advanced search option, and a profile page to keep track of your order history. The new version will be similar to Amazon in its functionality.
