Men’s volleyball in the EIVA championship after beating NJIT in the semis. I can’t remember if the NCAA tournament is at EBA this year or next year, but would be cool if Mason represented there.

Not this year. 2023.

I believe it was 2020 until theCorona Virus Hit

Yes it was, and I remembered they rescheduled it for a future tournament, just didn't know what year.

By the way, of course they have to beat Penn State. Looks like they are 1-3 against them this season, losing both games up there and splitting two games in Fairfax (and of course the game is in Pennsylvania). Maybe they'll get lucky.

Good luck, guys.
