The volleyball team made it out of their conference with only one loss this month. This put them in a position to earn a fourth place finish in the American Athletic Conference and earn a nomination for the National Invitational Volleyball Championship Tournament.
The Shockers NIVC tournament berth was their first postseason tournament nomination since 2018. However, it was cut short on Dec. 4 in the first round of the tournament to Grand Canyon University. The Antelopes beat the Shockers 3-1 (15-25), (27-25), (24-26), (23-25).
Head coach Chris Lamb said his team had several distractions leading up to their match.
