MIAMI – The No. 4 seed FIU volleyball program is championship-bound after sweeping No. 8 Missouri State in the semifinals of the CUSA Volleyball Championship on Saturday afternoon inside the Ocean Bank Convocation Center.
FIU (20-11) secures its 20th win of the season—marking the program's most victories in a single campaign since 2011—and advances to the CUSA Championship match for just the second time in program history. The Panthers last reached the final in 2018, ultimately falling to top-seeded Rice.
On Sunday, FIU will look to capture its first-ever CUSA title and its second conference championship overall, with the previous coming in 2001 as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.
