The
last time Wichita State played volleyball in Koch Arena, the Shockers celebrated with confetti, championship hats and a championship trophy. They swept three matches in the American Conference Championship to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
On Friday, the Shockers open the season back in Koch Arena with expectations to continue their recent run of post-season play. In 2022, they played in the National Invitation Volleyball Championship. They won the title in 2023. In 2024, Wichita State returned to NCAA play for the first time since 2017.
