September 15 and 16.
Wagner tallied 36 kills, 44 digs, and 10 service aces in the four matches

"Lisa has been a terrific leader for our program and came through with some
big plays this weekend," said head coach Phil Pisano.
The Behrend Lions captured their second consecutive tournament championship
with wins over Pitt-Greensburg, Lake Erie, Grove City, and host Westminster.
