Volleyball prolongs success

DeKALB | The Volleyball team discovered Sunday it will be traveling to Colombia, Missouri, to face the No. 15 seed University of Missouri Tigers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Last week, the Huskies (25-5, 15-1 Mid-American Conference) defeated Miami University in straight sets in the MAC championship game to advance to their first NCAA Tournament since losing to University of Miami Dec. 2, 2011 in Ames, Iowa.

The Huskies’ first opponent was revealed at the team’s selection party hosted by Fatty’s Pub & Grille, 1312 W. Lincoln Highway, in the Novak Room.

Missouri (25-5, 16-2 Southeastern Conference) is coming off a championship run of its own, earning the SEC championship title.
