Farny: Family of Champions


Over the weekend, Wittenberg University captured its first NCAA women’s championship, winning the Division 3 volleyball title in St. Louis. The Tigers beat Christopher Newport University of Newport News, VA, 3-0.

The Tigers’ Catherine Farny is one of six seniors on a team which became the first Ohio school to win an NCAA volleyball crown at any level. But she is not the first Farny to win a NCAA volleyball title.
