STATE COLLEGE, PA – The Manhattan Jaspers’ Men’s Volleyball program (0-1, 0-0 NEC) fell in its inaugural match against the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions (2-0, 0-0 Big Ten) in straight sets (21-25, 16-25, 20-25) inside the Recreation Hall South Gym on Saturday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• On top by a couple of points were the Nittany Lions, before an attack error by Penn State gave the Jaspers the program’s first ever point.
• Two points ahead, it was Kasen Owens who posted the first ever attempt and kill off a perfect Drew Blonski setup.
• Back and forth went the Jaspers and Nittany Lions, before Wojtek Nowak tied the game at nine with the program’s first service ace. Then, two points later, it was Nowak again, who was fed a perfect pass to give Manhattan its second tie in just three points.
• The Jaspers would keep the game within two until Nowak continued his all-around game by tacking on a block solo to his resume to narrow Penn State’s lead 15-14.
• Down the stretch, Owens and Nowak added another two points before the Nittany Lions took the first set.
• Looking to bounce back in the second set, Blonski set up Kasen Owens for a go-ahead kill, before Max Larcheid added his first point of the afternoon to go ahead of the home team.
• Trailing by three midway, the Jaspers, once again, took advantage of a Penn State setback, before the Nittany Lions pulled away down the stretch.
• Opening the third set trailing by two, Chase Marston joined the inaugural party with a kill, before Manhattan tacked on another two for the program’s first scoring run. The Jaspers would tack on the next three of four points, before Marston tied the match at 12 with back-to-back service aces.

CHICAGO — Ball State won four of its 10 events Saturday in the Badgers Midwest Invite, hosted by the University of Wisconsin at the Dr. Conrad Worrill Track at Gately Center. Early in the Cardinals’ indoor season, the three-team event gave head coach Adrian Wheatley an opportunity to carry a young roster and gain experience for the season ahead.

The Cardinals used a lineup heavy with freshmen and sophomores, including 6 of 7 Ball State entries in the 300m dash that was won by freshman Amina Hadziahmetovic. Winning her first college event, the freshman from nearby Mount Prospect, Illinois, set a personal record and led Ball State finishers who claimed four of the top five places, out of 17 runners. Shortly after winning her first college medal she earned another, pacing the Cardinals’ 4x400m relay team comprised of three freshman. Hadziahmetovic led off the 4×400, then handed to senior Abby Brennan who passed the winning baton to freshmen Haylie Yeazell and Lia Patterson.

Sophomore Kylee Marshall posted her best jump of the season while getting past 12 participants to claim first place in the long jump. It was the second long jump win of her career. She also finished in sixth place to lead Ball State competitors in the 60m dash.

Sophomore Lexi Hale won the high jump competition, besting 10 competitors including teammates Bella Jackson and Malina Miller who both cleared the same height at 1.65m. Hale matched her personal best and was the only jumper to clear the height on her first try. Hale, Jackson and Miller were among four who advanced to a final height at 1.70m. None cleared that height in three tries and Hale earned the win.

Senior Kenli Nettles finished second in the 60m hurdles with a personal record time of 8.76. In the 3,000 meters, freshman Emily Decker finished second with a time of 10:01.01 and junior Maci Hoskins finished third with a personal-best time of 10:10.48.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Eden Damis and Tyler Bolaske each posted top 40 Division III marks while Keith O’Donnell also added an event victory as the Keene State College track and field teams resumed their indoor season on Saturday when they visited Middlebury College for the Snowflake Invitational at the Virtue Field House.

KSC compiled 15 top three finishes or better at the meet, paced by a pair of marks that a pair of Owls will look to build on as it relates to NCAA qualification.  Damis’ 14.00-meter triple jump, a personal record which came on his sixth and final attempt, is currently good for 21st in Division III and beat out Middlebury College senior Tony Wang by nearly a meter.  Bolaske, coming off a NCAA championship individual qualification in cross country, has a building block of 4:25.88 in the mile, also a PR for him and the current 40th-best time in Division III.  In the event today, he edged out Patrick Russell of St. Lawrence University by three seconds to be one of the three event winners for KSC.  Keith O’Donnell also edged a member of the Saints, finishing .30 seconds ahead of Riley Cushman with his mark of 1:09.16.

Other noteworthy efforts came from Molly Lu McKellar, who ran the women’s 60-meter hurdles in 9.77 for a third-place finish.  McKenna Castor was fourth in that event in 9.92.  Freshman Keagan Ware ran the men’s 500 meters in 1:16.59 to finish in third in that event as KSC had three of the top four.  Fellow rookie Andrew Klinedinst ran the 3,000 meters in 9:15.58 to place third of 19 competitors, finishing only behind two times from the host Panthers that are current top-100 Division III marks.  Senior Maggie St. John ran a time inside the top 100 (93rd) on the women’s side in the same event, finishing in 11:04.09 for a runner-up nod.  Keene State also had two of the top three in the women’s long jump, with Caroline Cooper posting a PR mark of 5.06 meters (2nd of 14) and Ballay Conteh third (5.00 meters).  Caden Latulippe was third (3.95 meters) in the men’s pole vault among a group of six that otherwise included all Middlebury participants.  Laurel McKellar finished second in the women’s triple jump (9.58 meters) while both KSC men’s and women’s 4×400 meter relay teams placed third.

“After today as a whole, we know we have more work to do,” said Owls head coach Dan Roark.  “We competed well but the marks and times will need to improve.  We had some event wins with Keith, Eden, and Tyler and some close seconds on the women’s side.  We are excited to get to work and come out strong next week at Plymouth.”

Keene State travels to the Panther Invitational hosted by PSU next Saturday (January 17) for a 10:00 a.m. start.
