Out of 48 Division Two teams, the Messiah College Men’s Volleyball team finish a very prestigious 5th place, the best a Messiah Team has ever done. Messiah College entered the tournament after a very successful season, going 11-0 in regular season conference play and MAC Champions. Messiah made it to the Gold Division, beating the University of Wisconsin Eau-Clair in the first round. The next round placed the Falcons up against the defending National Champion, Dominican University. Messiah gave DU their toughest match of the entire tournament, but could not pull out the win. Dominican University went on to repeat their national championship.

After a long and grueling day of volleyball, the Messiah Falcons entered semi-finals against school rival, Millersville. The Falcons brought their A-game and took care of the Marauders in three games. Penn College beat Villinova, putting them in line to face Messiah for the Championship. The Falcons stepped up to the plate the first game and drove home a solid win. After losing the second game, it was tied 1-1 with one more game to decide the winner. As any perfect sports series, it ended up being tied 14-14 near the end of the game, sending it into overtime. The Falcons never lost hope and after battling back and forth, won the match and the championship. This is the first Messiah Championship since 1997. Congratulations, men, on a great season.
