The University of Northern Iowa volleyball team will be taking part in the NCAA Tournament for the 20th time in school history as the Panthers nabbed an at-large berth into the 2016 NCAA Tournament.
UNI (24-9 overall, 14-4 Missouri Valley Conference) will take on the Creighton Bluejays (26-6 overall, 18-0 BIG EAST) Thursday at 4 p.m. (CT) in Lawrence, Kan. Kansas will play Samford in the other matchup in Lawrence with the winners meeting on Friday for a berth into the Sweet 16.
UNI and Creighton met earlier this season in Los Angeles at the USC Radisson Classic.
