CINCINNATI - Following a weekend where it scrimmaged the defending back-to-back National Champion Penn State Nittany Lions, the University of Cincinnati volleyball team wraps up its 2009 Spring season when it welcomes Maryland, Xavier, Cleveland State, Ohio, and Youngstown State to Clifton for its home tournament on Saturday, April 25, as part of Bearcat Pride Day. The tournament will be held in the practice gym on the first floor of the Richard E. Lindner Center with the opening matches beginning at 9 a.m.
Head coach Reed Sunahara is pleased with the progress he has seen throughout the Spring and hopes it will culminate with a good performance on Saturday.
