“Juniata College’s women’s volleyball team ended their season with a fantastic record and a division championship,” Shuster said.  “The spectacular achievement of the team’s players and coaches should be celebrated and remembered, and this resolution will make sure their success is recorded for the history books.”

Juniata College’s volleyball team’s championship is one more example of a remarkable history of sportsmanship and achievement in college sports.  Over 30 seasons, Juniata’s volleyball program has built a 1,100 win and 172 loss record.  The team’s coach, Larry Bock, has the most wins of any coach in the history of NCAA women’s volleyball.  Also, during their championship season, senior player Stephanie Kines was named Division III Women’s Volleyball Player of the Year.  Stephanie is the second Juniata player to earn that honor.

“Juniata’s victory over their long time rival Washington University of St. Louis was the culmination of a lot of hard work, determination and spirit.  I congratulate them and their school for a job well done,” Shuster added.

Congressman Shuster congratulates all of the players and coaches of the Juniata College women’s volleyball team: Erin Albert, Brittany Carr, Cassie Dickmann, Kristi Fitzsimmons, Jess Fox, Paige Johnston, Stephanie Kines, Beth Kozak, Megan Lamens, Mariel Little, Michelle Morchesky, Aly Pompeani, Jessica Ritchey, Rachael Schatz, Megan Sollenberger, Molly Sollenberger, and Amber Thomas. Head Coach Larry Bock, and assistant Coaches Heather Pavlik, Casey Dale and Erin Dodson

“I look forward to the House of Representatives celebrating their victory by passing this resolution.”
