ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Illinois State volleyball program was selected to win the Missouri Valley Conference while seniors Kaity Weimerskirch and Sarah Kushner were named preseason All-MVC, announced the conference office after a poll of the MVC's 12 head coaches.
Illinois State finished second in the MVC in 2021 but won the conference tournament en route to qualifying for its fourth-straight NCAA Tournament. The program has never qualified for the NCAA Tournament in five-straight seasons and will seek to do so in 2022.
The MVC Libero of the Year in 2021, Weimerskirch has played in 86-of-89 matches over three seasons with the Redbirds.
