Having already wrapped up the second seed in next week's Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association tournament, the George Mason men's volleyball team had two goals in mind: to finish off the season with a win for the seniors at home and to maintain momentum heading into the playoffs.
Consider both goals achieved.
Using a five-point streak late in the third game, the 12th-ranked Patriots (19-7, 9-3 EIVA Tait) were able to complete a 3-0 (30-26, 30-27, 30-25) sweep of the New Jersey Institute of Technology Friday night at the Field House before 249.

In what will probably be his last real basketball experience in the states, Will Thomas joined other college hoops standouts in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament this past week.
Thomas had 17 points in the first game, and I wish I could be witnessing his last days of basketball in the U.S. before he undoubtedly ends up playing Pro ball over seas. Almost a sad realization that he will join the likes of Jai Lewis, Tony Skinn and Lamar Butler playing ball in a distant far away land that is not the NBA. But then again playing basketball professionally any where for six figure salaries is nothing to complain about.
