MSUB Volleyball Ranked 2nd in Region (9/27/06)

BILLINGS, MT – The NCAA Women’s Volleyball Committee released its first Division II regional polls of the year on Wednesday.  Montana State-Billings was ranked second in the Southwest Region, trailing only Fort Lewis College. 

The Yellowjackets are 13-3 overall and on a school-record nine-match winning streak.  The winning streak started with a 3-2 upset of Fort Lewis on the Skyhawks’ home court on September 2.  Fort Lewis and MSU Billings have split their two meetings this year.

The No. 2 regional ranking is by far the highest in the history of volleyball at MSU Billings.  The Yellowjackets were ranked fifth for one week last year, the first and only time in school history MSU Billings has appeared in the regional rankings prior to Wednesday.  The top eight teams in each of the NCAA’s eight regions qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

MSU Billings hosts Texas A&M-International (11-3) in two non-conference matches on Friday and Saturday.  Both matches start at 7:00 p.m. at Alterowitz Gym.
