This past weekend, Gonzaga’s men’s and women’s club volleyball teams traveled to St. Louis to participate in the Collegiate Club Volleyball National Championships at the America’s Center Convention Complex. They did more than merely compete though. The women’s team came home with a third-place finish while the men’s team brought back the trophy to Spokane as they claimed the national title.
The tournament featured over 450 teams between the men and women and had five separate divisions (DIII, DII, DIAAA, DIAA, DIA). GU has the population and characteristics to fit into the DII bracket, but out of necessity they were placed in the DIAAA division where they faced off against bigger schools.
