EXCELLING ON AND OFF THE FIELD The Ace of Aces This spring, men’s volleyball player Landon Shorts ’19 set a historical re- cord for himself and his team when he became the all-time NCAA leader in all divisions for career service aces. He registered his 256th career ace against Widener University on March 1, surpassing the record of 255 held by UC Santa Barbara’s Evan Patak, who played from 2004 to 2007. It’s not the first honor for the senior Busi- ness Administration major from York, Pa. In 2018, Shorts was named the MAC Player of the Year, to the MAC All-Conference First Team, and to the MAC All-Conference Academic Team. “I’m excited and honored to have put Stevenson’s men’s volleyball team in the record books,” he said. “Stevenson has provided me with the opportunity to play the game that I love at a very high competitive level.” Watch Landon's interview at stevenson.edu/ace STEVENSON.EDU | 11
