"It was all Hokie all day Saturday, as Virginia Tech dominated the 2008 EIVA East Coast Championships, capturing titles in both Division I and Division II. The Virginia Tech B team claimed Division II gold with a two game (25-20, 25-14) win over Brockport, leaving just enough time to cheer on the A team in the Division I finals. After defeating both an upstart Cortland team and a determined Delaware squad in pool play, Virginia Tech earned a bye for the quarterfinals. Well rested and focused, the Hokies trounced the two-time defending EIVA Champion Maryland in the semifinals in two games (25-14, 25-17). In other semifinal action, the Nittany Lions of Penn State survived a back and forth slugfest with James Madison, who entered the tournament as the South's top seed. Penn State escaped in game three with a win (20-25, 25-23, 15-10), setting up a heavyweight battle with Virginia Tech. Outside Hitter Tom Heffner and Opposite Gary Vogel did all they could they could to match the Hokies' onslaught, but in the end, it was not enough. The Virginia Tech defense, led by a nearly flawless performance from Libero Chris Hazell, proved equal to each task, while the offense pounded away with kill after kill. Tournament MVP Casey Doyle meticulously orchestrated a relentless attack for the Hokies, allowing for the explosive arm of Opposite Bob Hoke to terminate set after set. Virginia Tech claimed the title in two exciting games, 25-21 and 25-23, giving Head Coach Sean Callahan the right to proudly distribute gold medals and the championship trophy to his team." - http://eivavb.com/archives.asp
