The Institute’s volleyball team is prepping to get back into action following a very successful season last year. Last season, the squad made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament before they lost to the top seeded Louisville Cardinals. The Jackets enter the season ranked ninth in the nation.
Last season the Jackets tied their previous record of making it to the Elite Eight in postseason play. In the volleyball team’s 42 years of existence that was only their second time doing so. The Jackets were one of the best offensive teams of all time last season as they accumulated 1700 kills which ranked seventh all time for a team total throughout the duration of a season.
