While the girls are away, the guys did play. For the first time in at least four years, the men’s club volleyball team, which is reestablishing itself on the club scene, hosted a tournament in the Athletic Complex.

Freshman Juan Manfredi and sophomore Jerry Porter are leading an initiative to make men’s volleyball the 20th varsity sport at Washington University. A member of the club team, Manfredi started the Facebook group “Washington University Varsity Men’s Volleyball,” which at this point has 57 members.
