WEST POINT, N.Y.  - For the first time in eight years, the Patriot League Volleyball Tournament will change locations. Previously hosted by eight-time defending champion American, outright regular-season champion and No. 1 Army will host the four-team event at West Point this weekend. Fans in attendance will have a chance to win an HDTV, iPod nano or digital camcorder as a part of a free raffle to promote the event.

No. 1 Army will face No. 4 Lehigh for the second time in a week, as the Black Knights closed out the regular season with a 3-1 home victory over the Mountain Hawks. Army and Lehigh will open the Patriot League Tournament in the first semifinal match on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 4 p.m. No. 2 American and No. 3 Colgate follow in the second semifinal match at 6 p.m.

The winners advance to Sunday's (Nov. 22) title match at 4 p.m. with the Patriot League's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Army last hosted the tournament in 1994, which is also the last year in which the Black Knights won the title. A three-time Patriot League Champion (1991, 1992, 1994), Army did so prior to the conference securing an automatic bid. Therefore, Army has never appeared in the NCAA Tournament.

All matches will be played at Gillis Field House and admission is free of charge. Fans may also enter a free raffle - open to cadets and general public (including ODIA employees) - throughout the weekend with a chance to win either a 32" flatscreen HDTV, 8GB iPod nano or a 5-megapixel digital camcorder. Attendees may enter by filling out the available raffle tickets at Gillis during any one of the three matches. The winners will be drawn during the break (between sets two and three) in Sunday's championship match. Winners must be present to win.

Live stats and a live webcast will be available for all three matches for those unable to attend. Click here to visit 2009 Patriot League Volleyball Central through www.goARMYsports.com for more details.
