Volleyball remains No. 21 in the AVCA Poll
HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Michigan Tech volleyball team is ranked No. 21 in this week's AVCA Division II Coaches' Poll for the second straight time. The Huskies finished the regular season 9-3 and were ranked No. 21 last week, No. 20 on March 24, No. 22 on March 17, No. 23 on February 25, and received votes in the preseason poll.
For the second time in program history, Tech won the GLIAC Regular Season Title. Tech shared the title with NMU, and the two teams also shared the title in 1994 when Tech last won a regular-season championship.
Tech is the No. 1 seed in this weekend's GLIAC Tournament hosted by Saginaw Valley State. The Huskies will play at 4 p.m. Friday in the quarterfinal round against the winner of the No. 8 SVSU versus No. 9 Parkside matchup.
Tech was ranked in the Top 25 in eight polls in 2019 and climbed as high as No. 20 on November 5.
