  • Q & A with Penn State Behrend Volleyball Coach Phil Pisano
    October 09, 2008
    What are your thoughts on your team at this point in your fall season? We are 14-6 overall right now and 4-0 in the AMCC, which is right around where I expected us to be at this point. We have had some really outstanding performances so far and also a few matches that we'd like to forget. The biggest storyline to our season thus far has been how many injuries we've had to deal with. We haven't had one day since preseason where we've had all our players healthy and most of the time we've had at least two potential starters missing. It's been tough to deal with but I think the players have handled it well. Who is performing particularly well for the team right now?
