SCOUTING THE RED FLASH
Saint Francis enters the match fighting for the final playoff spot in the EIVA. Three of the four places in the tournament are clinched, with Penn State, Harvard and Princeton taking those spots. Should Saint Francis and George Mason finish the conference season with a tied record, the Red Flash would win the tiebreaker because it defeated the Patriots in four sets, while George Mason beat the Flash in five sets.
 
STATISTICAL LEADER
Senior Mark Kochan (Towaco, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) finished action last week with the top attack percentage in the nation. Kochan is hitting .472 for the season with 170 kills in 286 attempts and 35 errors. Hitting percentage is calculated by taking a player's kills, subtracting errors, and dividing that number into the player's total number of attempts.
