No. 1 WVU Qualifies for NCAA Championships

The University of Akron plays host to the championships March 11-12, at the Stile Athletics Field House, in Akron, Ohio.

Today’s qualification is the ninth straight for the three-time defending National Champion Mountaineers (12-0, 8-0 GARC). WVU has won four titles under 10-year coach Jon Hammond and will shoot for a nation-best 18th title.

“It’s always important to make sure you qualify for the NCAA Championships,” Hammond explained. “With the new qualifying formation, there is a lot less pressure around this time of year. I believe entering the postseason as the No. 1-ranked team demonstrates just how consistent this team is, as well as the high standards we all hold for ourselves.
