Juniata Plus Eight

Eagles Cherishing Upset Win

Juniata College is still basking in its volleyball team's stunning victory over Ohio State on Wednesday.

The Eagles went into the match 1-21 all-time against Ohio State, but sent the Buckeyes home from the Kennedy Sports and Recreation Center with a 3-2 loss. Set scores for Juniata were 28-30, 30-23, 30-28, 27-30, and 15-12.

The win over Ohio State, ranked 13th in last week's Bison/AVCA Division I-II poll and an NCAA tournament national semifinalist a year ago, was Juniata's (9-4) second over a Division I-II ranked team in the last two weeks.

Juniata returns to action Tuesday, when it faces the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif.
