Kevin Moskal (above in the gray t-shirt) ended an amazing career as one of the best right side players in the country and earned a 1st All Tournament Team selection. He took over matches with a combination of blocking and hitting, but also played solid defense throughout the tournament. Moskal will be difficult to replace next season, but we have some excellent young players returning. Sophomore outside hitter, Jake Barone (above left), earned a spot on the 2nd All Tournament Team and freshman middle hitter Jehu Shamlin earned Honorable Mention. I can't say enough about our senior leadership of (from right to left below) Danny Savage, Phil Wentworth, Kevin Moskal and Matt Loczi, as they held the team together through team dinners (after the quietest 6 hour van ride in history) and pushing the guys in every practice. Jeff Thompson and Danny Savage also played major roles throughout the tournament as they were threats both offensively and defensively and helped the team to several victories this season. Kyle Szen had an awesome tournament for Libero as he was consistent with his passing and great on defense. He received numerous votes for All Tournament team. In his first year as a setter, I couldn't have asked for more from freshman setter, Zach Beatty, who directed our offense and played a great tournament. The entire team had an opportunity to play in the national tournament and experience what it takes to win and they kept everybody motivated and energized all tournament (Kevin Hutchings, Antoine Pastor, and Luke Lukens).
