Columbus, OH- The IPFW men's volleyball team has been selected by coaches in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Conference as the pre-season favorite to win the conference.
IPFW finished second in the MIVA last season with a record of 9-3, but won the conference championship and a birth to the NCAA tournament. The Mastodons (23-7) fell in three to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semi-finals.
Three Mastodons have been selected All-MIVA Pre-Season. They are 2006 MIVA First-Teamer and AVCA/Sports Imports Second-Team All-America, junior outside hitter C.J. Macias, and 2006 All-MIVA Second-Team selections senior setter Colin Lundeen and junior middle hitter Josh Stewart.
IPFW was the only team to have three-players selected for pre-season honors.
"It is an honor for our team to be recognized as pre-season number one," said IPFW head men's volleyball coach Arnie Ball, now in his 27th season.
"Now we need to work hard to prove that, indeed, we deserve to be number one."
The Volleydons begin play with home matches on January 12 and 13 against EIVA opponents Saint Francis, (PA) and NCAA Finalist Penn State, respectively.
First serve for both matches is 7:00pm.
