Area Ladies Competing in the NCAA Div II Volleyball Tournament
There are 71 ladies from 53 KS & MO schools at 27 colleges in the biggest tournament of their athletic careers. We can be proud of our volleyball when they go on to excel on the national stage.
It is NCAA tournament time for Division II. The states of Missouri and Kansas are well represented in that field of 64 teams from all across the country. The tournament starts on Friday, November 18. These ladies come from public schools and private schools. From large metropolitan schools and from schools as small as Trinity Academy in Wichita which has 145 students.
