ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- For the second consecutive year junior outside hitter Hannah Thompson has been named a preseason all-conference selection and Bradley Volleyball was picked to finish fourth in the annual Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll of the league coaches announced by the league office Wednesday morning.
Bradley (15-15 overall, 11-7 MVC) is coming off a fourth-place finish in the Valley in 2019. In fact, the Braves had the first back-to-back seasons with at least a .500 record in nearly two decades along with the first consecutive seasons with 11 or more MVC wins for just the second time in school history.
