DeKALB — In his time at NIU, Volleyball’s Head Coach Ray Gooden has embraced the importance of defending home court.
“The expectations are always the same for us, we have to defend home court.” Gooden said.
Since 2005, Gooden’s squads have been phenomenal when playing at home, winning 133 games in that stretch.
The Huskies look to carry that home success into this season as they host the NIU Invitational over the weekend. NIU will host Fairleigh Dickinson University, Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville and University of California - Riverside.
Gooden went into depth on what the focus was going into the NIU Invitational.
