SLU Volleyball Dancing For The First Time

November 27, 2006 By admin Leave a Comment

Saint Louis University volleyball received its first berth to the NCAA Tournament in school history. SLU earned an automatic bid by winning the Atlantic-10 Tournament behind tournament MVP freshman Whitney Roth. Fellow freshman Whitney Behrens and senior Tatyana Menshikova were named to the All-Tournament team.

The Billikens travel to 14th-seeded Purdue for the first-round Thursday, Nov. 30. The winner will play the winner of the Kentucky-Ohio match.

“I’m very, very excited about going to Purdue. It’s a great place to play, they got big crowds, and they’re a huge physical team. It’ll be a challenge for us and that’s when we’re our best,” said head coach Anne Kordes.

Purdue finished the regular season 21-10, 11-9 in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers are ranked 22nd in the nation, but is going into the NCAA’s losers in six of its last eight matches. This is the third straight appearance for Purdue. They made it all the way to the Sweet 16 last year.
