    Something was missing from the Penn State men's volleyball bench. It wasn't any of the Nittany Lions (8-6, 6-0 EIVA) who traveled to New Jersey this past weekend to challenge conference-foe New Jersey Tech on Thursday, then regroup to face No. 7 Ohio State and No. 13 Ball State Friday and Saturday.
