In the title...
...men’s volleyball program, becoming the third “transfer” to join the squad.BACK TO THE FUTUREDespite the switch, the players remained still very much invested in their old sports.McCrone, for example, may be gone from Lavietes Pavilion, but he continues to rock the rims in the MAC.“He has dunk contests in the MAC during practice,” Weitzen says. “Coolest thing I’ve ever seen.”And when he isn’t throwing down volleyballs, McCrone takes the court for Leverett...
