The Drake volleyball team will take on Boston College in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC) match at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14. in the Knapp Center.

Bring family and friends and help us pack the Knapp Wednesday to create a fantastic home-court advantage for our volleyball team. Purchase tickets. Admission is free for Drake students.

Drake has never won a postseason tournament in volleyball and the ability to host the championship match is a big deal. If you have not seen the video of Coach McBroom telling our women they would be returning home to host the NIVC Championship, I encourage you to watch it.

The Drake volleyball team has had a historic season. They set a program record with 30 victories this season, including a 16–2 record in the Missouri Valley Conference. The team was just two points shy of winning the conference tournament, but accepted a bid to the NIVC (the equivalent of the NIT and WNIT in men’s and women’s basketball) and is now sitting at the top of the bracket. The Bulldogs has won 16 of its last 17 matches. What is more, they are 10–0 at home in the Knapp Center and have lost only one of 31 sets played.

Good luck, Bulldogs!
