What a special year the Kingsmen enjoyed, with some amazing players who truly exemplified the Penn Volleyball culture of giving to the person next to you.  The team finished 30-1 in the regular season winning every tournament they competed in and winning their conference undefeated for the 4th year in a row.  Their storybook season ended in an epic Semi State – 5 game match, closing out the season with a 35-2 record. 

For those who watched this team compete they stated that the team was so fun to watch, their presence on the court was contagious, the celebration/togetherness was refreshing, and such amazing volleyball.  They left wanting to see more.
