HUNTINGDON, Pa. – A couple days after earning their second consecutive Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC) championship, Juniata College men's volleyball held onto its No. 3 national ranking, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll announced Tuesday. The top four remained unchanged from last weeks poll as the Eagles earned 171 points and one first place vote.
Springfield College picked up 190 points and 10 first place votes to remain in the top spot, with SUNY New Paltz just seven points behind them with two first place votes of their own. Carthage, who lost to Juniata in the CVC semifinals, remained in fourth place. And Stevens jumped up from sixth to fifth, edging out MIT by six points.
Juniata, Carthage, and No. 12 Stevenson are the only CVC teams in the poll. Nine of the top 15 teams earned places in the 2014 NCAA Division III Tournament and will battle for a national championship from April 25-27 in the Kennedy Sports+Recreation Center.
