I need to know what kind of spider I have.?

Question

I recently acquired a spider from a friend of mine who knows I like them (:

But I'm not sure what kind it is. It's small, about 1-2 inches, and has two light tan stripes on its back, with a darker brown in between them. At first I thought it was some kind of funnel-web spider, but when I look them up, the pictures don't completely match. I want a definite match! I'm not sure if he's poisonous and I don't want to handle him before I'm absolutely sure. My friend found it on the ground behind my school... oh, I live in northeast Pennsylvania, if that helps!

Any help at all would be appreciated!
