College volleyball rankings after Week 11: Updated AVCA Coaches Poll

The final week of the women's volleyball regular season delivered several five-set thrillers and results that could influence NCAA Tournament seeding with Selection Sunday just weeks away. It did not, however, bring any movement, once again, to the top of the AVCA Coaches Poll : Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Florida and SMU all held their positions at Nos. 1 through 5, respectively, for another week. Notably, the Cornhuskers traveled to the Pacific Northwest for a pair of top-25 matchups against Oregon and Washington, returning to Lincoln with sweeps over both the Ducks and the Huskies. The Cornhuskers' 2-0 trip, which moves them to 25-0 on the season, clinched them a share of the Big Ten regular season crown. NCAA volleyball bracketology: Who's in 64-team tournament field?

Mt. Lebanon deaths leave parents facing tough talks with kids

Children in Mount Lebanon may continue to experience fear, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating in the weeks after the deaths of a father and his two young children, according to a child psychologist who says parents should talk openly with their children about the tragedy. On Nov. 3, 42-year-old Patrick Lynch and his children, 8-year-old James Lynch and 6-year-old Caroline Lynch, died after an apparent fall from the parking garage behind the Mount Lebanon municipal building, according to a community announcement. Authorities later ruled the children's deaths homicides and their father's death a suicide, according to USA TODAY. The deaths have prompted an outpouring of support in Mount Lebanon. “This morning, we continue to offer our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and anyone touched by the tragedy in Mt. Lebanon yesterday,” the municipality wrote in a mtlebanon.org statement. Officials said seeing neighbors reach out to one another was providing “solace on this sad day” and thanked first responders for their efforts. For children who knew the family, attend schools in the community or have repeatedly encountered coverage online, however, the effects may continue beyond the immediate aftermath.
