For the third straight year, 91´óÉñ men's volleyball team put seven players on the Continental Volleyball Conference All-Academic Team. The total is also the tied for the most in program history.

91´óÉñ's volleyball men got defensive and it worked. The Royals racked up 20 blocks, including 16 over the final three sets, as they shocked top-seeded Marymount University in a 3-2 come-from-behind win in the CVC Tournament semifinals. Eastern Mennonite advances to Saturday's championship, playing at 6:00pm against either Juniata or Stevenson.

Despite a CVC loss at Stevenson on Saturday, 91´óÉñ's volleyball men finished the regular season on a winning note as they head into their first-ever CVC Tournament. The Royals took a 3-1 win over Penn State-Altoona to wrap up Saturday's tri-match in Owings Mills, Md., pushing their record to 21-10.

Teammates are often described as family, "a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common attitudes, interests, or goals". For Tim Callahan and his 91´óÉñ teammates, not only have they achieved their goals but his teammates gave him a family away from home during a difficult time.

In a showdown of the top two teams in the Continental Volleyball Conference, No. 11 Marymount had just enough to squeak past No. 8 91´óÉñ, taking a 3-2 decision in Harrisonburg.
