SIOUX FALLS – The (RV) University of Sioux Falls volleyball team hit the road today for the 2022 NSIC Volleyball Championships held in St. Paul, MN at Concordia – St. Paul.
"The NSIC Tournament is one of the premier tournaments in NCAA DII volleyball. This year, most of the field is ranked in the Top-10. It's an honor to compete with those teams for a championship. We had an outstanding end to our regular season, highlighted by victories against the #2 and #5 teams in the country. We feel confident about our ability to continue playing high-level volleyball into the postseason. We look forward to stepping onto the court against an admirable team from UM-Duluth."
-Coach Dan Mathews on USF Volleyball
The (RV) Cougars will take on the #4 ranked Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth tomorrow, Friday, November 11 at 2:30 p.m. in the Gangelhoff Center. USF enters the NSIC Tournament for the first time since 2018 with an overall record of 18-9 and a conference record of 14-6, which is tied for a program best. With a younger squad, it'll be exciting to see where the Cougars go next!
