I'm not usually this congratulatory of a person. Then again, there usually isn't this going on at once.

Penn State's women's volleyball team capped off a remarkable, undefeated season the best way possible: a national championship. The team's second in two years, in fact. My hat's off to them.

Congratulations also to Nicole Fawcett, who was named the 2008 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division I Women's Volleyball National Player of the Year, and Megan Hodge, who won the NCAA tournament's Most Outstanding Player award for the second straight year.

The Collegian's Board of Opinion urged students to attend volleyball games before the end of the season. You would be watching a championship team, we said.

This team has made it clear that it is a volleyball powerhouse. We look forward to seeing how the team moves from here.
