Clarion’s volleyball season is still alive, but its path now depends on an NCAA tournament selection. The Golden Eagles lost 3-0 to top-seeded IUP in the PSAC semifinal Saturday, despite a late rally in the third set.

By the Numbers
  • Clarion: 20-9 overall, 10-4 in PSAC play.
  • IUP: 23-5 overall, 12-2 in PSAC play.
  • Set scores: 25-15, 25-19, 25-20.
  • Kalina Powell led Clarion with 18 digs; Natalie Karrick had 17 assists.
State of Play
  • Clarion awaits the NCAA Atlantic Regional selection show, scheduled for Sunday evening.
  • The Golden Eagles rallied from a 23-13 deficit in the third set to get within 24-20 before IUP ended the match.
Bottom Line

The PSAC tournament run is over, but Clarion’s season may not be: an NCAA regional bid would give the Golden Eagles another chance to compete.
