Penn State Behrend Claims Two AMCC POW -- January 18, 2009

The Behrend Lions claimed two AMCC Player of the Week honors. The league office announces selections each Monday throughout the season.

Krystal Kovach (ScottTwp/Chartiers Valley) has been named women's diver of the week for the blue and white.  Kovach once again proved her skills on the boards, winning both 1m (260.85) and 3m (294.40) vs. Penn St. Altoona with NCAA qualifying scores.  This is the third time this season that Kovach has been named women's diver of the week.

Stephen Graves (McMurray/Peters Twp) has been named men's diver of the week.  Graves had a record breaking meet vs. Penn St. Altoona. His scores of 292.95 on the 1m board and 294.9 on the 3m board were personal bests, breaking his own team records. In the process of placing first on both boards, the senior also dove well enough to post NCAA qualifying scores.

The Penn State Behrend swimming and diving teams will be on the road for their next three contests.  On Saturday, January 22 the blue and white will be at Chatham University for a meet that will begin at 6 p.m.  The Behrend Lions are scheduled for a battle against the Washington and Jefferson Presidents the following night and another road challenge at Grove City on Friday, January 29.
