Raiders will play at Purdue, who is seeded 16th in the field.
In the non-conference we have one common oppnent at the same site.
@ Notre Dame, WSU won 3-2, Purude lost 2-3.
Take that for what it's worth, I'd give our ladies a good a shot as anyone.

Women's Volleyball was selected as an at-large into the NCAA tournament and will play Purdue in the first round. This is HUGE for our program! As a mid-major with less than a handful of winning seasons this millennium, the jump is absolutely incredible. How many at-large bids do you guys remember in any sport at WSU?

I was trying to remember if there were any. The write up on the athletics website says it’s the first at large for any sport in school history.

Preview from a Purdue site of the volleyball matchups today: www.hammerandrails.com/2019/12/6/20998546/purdue-volleyball-2019-ncaa-tournament-previewThe Purdue sub-regional will get underway Friday at 4:30 ET as Marquette will face Dayton. The Purdue-Wright State match will follow at 7:00 ET. Saturday at 7:00 the winners will face each other with a spot in the Sweet Sixteen on the line. The matches will be available for free on BTN+. Here is the link to watch: www.btnplus.com/game/ncaa-1st-round-wright-state-vs-16-purdue... Wright State Making their inaugural appearance in the NCAA Tournament and as an at-large bid, no less. Wright State (24-5, 13-3) was the Horizon League regular season champion. The Raiders fell in the Horizon League Tournament semifinals to Northern Kentucky who went on to win the tournament. Wright State was 41 in the RPI rankings and 168 in strength of schedule. The Raiders didn’t play anyone in the RPI top 25, they were 4-2 against 26-50, 3-3 versus 51-100 and 17-0 against 101+ opponents. Wright State and Purdue did have two opponents in common, Notre Dame and Ball State; The Raiders beat both in five sets. Led by the Horizon League Coach of the Year Allie Matters, WSU rewrote the record books this season. Key in their rise has been their defense led by the Horizon League Defensive Player of Year, libero Jenna Story. Story is tops in the country with over six digs per set leading a defense that holds opponents to .143 hitting percentage, fifth in the country. The Raiders will have their work cut out for them against the Purdue hitters. One positive for Wright State is that they’re a decent serving team. If they can get Purdue out system and frustrate the outside hitters they can maybe take a set or two.

Women's volleyball swept handily by Purude tonight. 9-25, 23-25, 11-21.
A great season and turnaround. Fingers crossed we can keep prying eyes away from our staff.
