Volleyball visits Ivy League cellar dwellersVolleyball visits Ivy League cellar dwellers This weekend the Penn volleyball team has a chance to redeem itself as it heads north to play Cornell and Columbia. On the other hand, Penn(6-10) has one win within the conference putting it slightly ahead of Cornell and Columbia. With an additional two wins Penn should move towards the middle of the league. A key person for Penn is senior captain Heather Tillet. Tillet received honorable mention recognition from the Ivy League last week after her career-high 20 digs against Dartmouth. Penn has not had any Ivy match in two weeks, and during this break from intraconference play, the team has only played once, against La Salle, which resulted in a straight-sets win. "Having these couple of weeks where we haven't had a match, everybody is ready to come out and play competitively," said Tillet. -- Shirin Sudhakara
