PEORIA, Ill. -- Sixth-year Bradley Volleyball Head Coach Carol Price-Torok and her squad held their first official practice in preparation for the upcoming 2021 season Monday at Renaissance Coliseum, holding two training sessions after reporting to campus Sunday.
The Braves return all 11 letterwinners from last year's team which won a league-best 12 Missouri Valley Conference contests last year and finished fourth in the final league standings. Bradley, which was one of just five Valley teams to play a full conference schedule in 2020-21, joins I-74 rival Illinois State as the only teams to finish in the top four of the league standings each of the last three seasons and BU boasts three consecutive top-four conference showings for the first time in program history.
