Mark Knaub was a standout setter and leader for the Juniata men’s volleyball program in its early years of varsity competition. He helped Juniata earn a Middle Atlantic Conference Championship in 1990, and then back-to-back Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Division III titles in 1992 and in 1993 when he was named the tournament most valuable player. He became the first Juniata volleyball player selected for the EIVA All-East Team (consisting of Division I, II and III student-athletes) when he earned second-squad honors following his senior season. He captured first-team EIVA Division III All-Star status as a junior and senior, the first Juniata men’s volleyball competitor to earn the honor twice. Through the 2004 season he still ranked first in Juniata history in career assists with 4,767. He is also second in the Juniata annals in career service aces with 114. He also added 295 blocks for his career—the sixth-highest total in College Hill annals at the time of his induction. His senior season total of 1,884 assists ranks him first in school history in assists for a campaign, and he averaged more than 15 assists per game in that senior year. He also helped Juniata to one of the biggest wins in the program’s history when they knocked off 14th-ranked Ohio State in a five-game battle during his senior season.
