The Missouri Valley Conference has canceled the second quarterfinal match of the 2021 MVC Volleyball Tournament (scheduled for today at 2 p.m. CT at Redbird Arena in Normal, Ill.) due to COVID-19 protocols within Valparaiso's Tier I personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff. As a result, Bradley – Valpo's scheduled opponent -- will advance to Friday's (April 2) semifinals and will play top-seeded Illinois State at 2 p.m. CT. Illinois State defeated eighth-seeded Indiana State in the first match of the tournament today.
MVC athletically related activities will take place only to the extent permitted by local environments and applicable national, state, local and institutional guidelines in order to safeguard the health and safety of participants, staff and fans.
