Cypress coach makes VB National Finals

Cypress resident Aric Anderson coach for the Chapman University Panthers took on all challengers at the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation Tournament and came home with the silver medal and ranked second in the nation among all Men’s Division II club teams.
With only eight players on the roster for the tournament, Chapman defeated teams with much deeper benches and ran up an impressive string of victories before suffering their only loss in the Finals of the tournament.
In that gold medal match, the Chapman men pushed defending champion Messiah College to a third game, tie breaker to decide the match.  Three Panthers were also named to the All Tournament Team  –  Taylor Braun, Ben Gelaris, and Justin Parks.
