W. Volleyball. WKU Secures NCAA Bid, Beats Rice in C-USA Championship

Hudson Interview | Anderson Interview | O'Connell Interview

HOUSTON – Conference USA Tournament MVP Rachel Anderson led the charge for the WKU volleyball squad with a career high 31 kills in the five-set C-USA Championship match. After WKU took a two-set lead, Rice fired back and forced a fifth set but the Lady Toppers weathered the storm to secure their third-consecutive C-USA Tournament Championship.

Anderson, Alyssa Cavanaugh and Georgia O'Connell were all named to the C-USA Volleyball All-Tournament Team.

The Lady Toppers are now just the second C-USA team in program history to finish with a perfect conference record that went on to win the tournament championship after Louisville achieved the feat in 2004.
