PEORIA, Ill. -- Preparations for the 2019 Bradley Volleyball season jumped into full swing with the Braves holding the first official practice of the 2019 season Saturday at Renaissance Coliseum after the team reported back to campus Friday.
Fourth-year Bradley Volleyball head coach Carol Price-Torok, who was the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year after a historic season for the Braves, has a solid nucleus returning from last year's team which was the first post-season squad in program history.
The 2018 season included a school record 14 home victories (14-1), highlighted by a sweep of MVC regular-season co-champion Illinois State, a first-round NIVC victory against MAC East Division co-champion Bowling Green and a 24-9 overall record for the most victories since 2001.
