Guessous, a redshirt freshman from Pasadena, Calif., has a team-best 44 (13s, 31a) blocks on the season for.94 average that ranks seventh in the league. Neary, a junior from Ventura, Calif., is third on the team with a.64 average and has 27 (3s, 24a) blocks over 42 sets played.

His.446 attack percentage is second in the MIVA and ranks fourth nationally. To be ranked, a hitter must average 3.0 attempts per set. Neary has a 1.12 kills average and is hitting a solid.471 at the net.

IPFW concluded the weekend 2-0 with wins over Mount Olive and Barton.

Redshirt junior libero Conner Curry leads the conference in digs per set and digs with 2.51 and 143, respectfully and redshirt sophomore setter Taylor Hammond leads the conference in assist per set with 11.04. The Nittany Lions lead the series between the Buckeyes 70-34 -1 with play dating back to 1971. This will be the third match up between the two squads this season. The Buckeyes dropped a three-set (26-28, 20-25, 19-25) match against Penn State earlier in the season at the Outrigger Invitational in Hawai i. The Buckeyes then traveled to Penn State last month and fell to the Nittany Lions in a four-set heartbreaker (27-29, 25-22, 29-31, 15-25). HEAD COACH PETE HANSON The Buckeyes are led by head coach Pete Hanson, who is in his 30th year with the program. He has guided the Buckeyes to 15 MIVA regular season titles, including the six straight from 2007-2012. Under his direction, Ohio State captured its first NCAA Division I-II title in 2011 as the squad defeated UC Santa Barbara in five sets. The Buckeyes have totaled 18 20-win seasons with Hanson and have reached the NCAA Championships 10 times. Hanson is 588-312 overall at Ohio State in his 29 seasons and boasts a 252-79 record against MIVA opponents. TEAM USA Buckeyes Michael Henchy and Driss Guessous earned the opportunity to don the Red, White and Blue this summer, representing the United States at the FIVB Men s U-21 World Championship held Aug. 22-Sept. 1 in Ankara and Izmir, Turkey. The pair was selected from a field of 22 in late June to the final 12-player roster. A familiar face was at the helm of the program in Ohio State s own head coach Pete Hanson and Buckeye assistant Sean Byron also served the same capacity for Team USA. Team USA struggled a bit throughout the tournament and finished the 20-team championship in 11th overall. Despite leaving Turkey without a medal, Team USA did leave on a high note with a three-set win over rival Canada. The Buckeyes lead the series 69-35 between the two squads. Ohio State ended an 11-match winning streak, which began in 2008, with a five-set loss (26-28, 27-17, 25-20, 22-25, 9-15) to the Mastodons last season in Fort Wayne. SCOUTING PENN STATE The No. 12 Penn State Nittany Lions are 13-3 overall and 6-1 in the EIVA Conference. The Nittany Lions are coming off of a 1-1 weekend on the road to Princeton and George Mason. Penn State dropped a five-set match to Princeton Friday (25-18, 22-25, 19-25, 25-15, 11-15), and notched a four-set win over George Mason Saturday (25-19, 25-22, 24-26, 26-24). 2014 MIVA STANDINGS Conference Overall W L Win% W L Win% 1 Loyola-Chicago 8 0 1.000 15 1.938 2 Lewis 4 2.667 12 4.750 Ball State 4 2.667 10 5.667 4 IPFW 3 2.600 10 3.769 5 Ohio State 4 3.571 7 7.500 6 Lindenwood 3 5.375 12 6.667 7 Quincy 0 6.000 7 9.438 Grand Canyon 0 6.000 6 11.353 MIVA PRESEASON POLL The Ohio State men s volleyball was chosen to finish third in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association by a vote of the league coaches.
