New Kensington

Women's Volleyball Opens Season at Home This Week

Women's volleyball opens its 2002 schedule this week with a two-game home stand at the Penn State New Kensington Field House on Wednesday, Sept. 4 against Penn State Fayette and on Friday, Sept. 6 against Westmoreland County Community College. Last week's intended season opener against the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC)-Boyce was cancelled when Boyce dropped its volleyball program. The CCAC North and South campuses also dropped the sport. Coach John DeRiggi returns with four players from last year's Commonwealth Campus Athletic Conference state championship team, including all-conference outside hitter Jen Yohe, outside hitters Penny Ketcham and Addie Dunn, and defensive specialist Amanda Fries. The Lady Lions will compete in the Commonwealth Campus and Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conferences. For more information on athletics at the campus, visit
