Students came out with a vengeance in Wednesday's softball challenge against staff/faculty: Justin Eberhart, Bryann Bingamann and Marc Kaylor scored early to take a 3-0 lead after the first inning. Their opponents didn't get their first run until the third, and scored three more in the bottom of the fourth after RBI singles from Eric Ranck and Andy Gutkowski.

All Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball coach Chris Howard and softball coach Roger Harris asked for was an opportunity for their teams to be able to practice and play. Although both still had to dodge raindrops last week, they managed to win a combined nine games while losing only one and are on track to reach the Penn State University Athletic Conference playoffs.

The students were shorthanded, but that didn't take away their spirit against staff/faculty volleyball opponents Wednesday in Bardo Gym. "The students built a good lead in the first game, but the staff/faculty team battled back and tied it twice only to fall in the first game, 25-19," said intramural assistant Jeremy R. Bottorf (who also supplied the photos).

The Pennsylvania College of Technology archery team made a strong showing at the Eastern Regional Intercollegiate Archery Championships this past weekend.

Penn College junior Garrett Hornung (Emporium) was named the Penn State University Athletic Conference Baseball Player of the Week for the period ending April 17.

This is Hornung's first PSUAC honor this season.

The Penn College baseball team honored its four graduating seniors at Sunday's doubleheader against Penn State York. Ethan Boyd, Brett Braker, Ryan Herrmann and Ryan Weachock stood in front of family and friends during a small presentation prior to the start of the first game.

The on-campus team came out with a good mix of runs and passes to keep its off-campus opponents on their heels, and, when it was all said and done, Sunday's Powder Puff Football game might well have been called "The Kerry Weber Show." For starters, according to a recap by intramural assistant Jeremy R.

Weather-related postponements have made for a busy final two weeks of the regular season for Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball and softball teams as they strive to qualify for the Penn State University Athletic Conference playoffs April 29-30, as both teams have at least a dozen games to get in.

The Penn College softball team honored its six graduating seniors Thursday at the team's doubleheader against Penn State Mont Alto.
