CMU volleyball players celebrate after winning the final match against Ohio on Nov. 12, 2016 at McGuirk Arena.
Following Saturday's five-set win over Ohio in the final match of the season, Central Michigan head volleyball coach Mike Gawlik stressed that as satisfying as the win was, much work still needed to be done.
Prior to the Ohio match, Western Michigan's win against Toledo Saturday clinched the final spot in the Mid-American Conference tournament for the Broncos.
That meant CMU's match against Ohio would be their last of the season no matter the outcome.
Prior to Saturday's matchup against Ohio, knowledge of Western Michigan's win over Toledo earlier in day was scarce among the Central Michigan Volleyball team.
