Good morning! It was a weekend to remember for Wichita State volleyball as the Shockers captured an AAC title, punching their ticket into the NCAA Tournament. Check out the moment the team knew that the crown was theirs.

🌾 ONE BIG THING

The Shockers had a dominant weekend that saw the team deliver not one, not two but three straight sweeps en route to being crowned the AAC Champions. After taking down Tulsa and South Florida, a Sunday afternoon matchup against Florida Atlantic is all that stood in between the Shockers and a title. Brooklyn Leggett and Morgan Stout each finished with double-digit kills and Izzi Strand made play after play, recording 31 assists and nine digs, resulting in an AAC Championship trophy.

The win means that WSU punched their ticket into the NCAA Tournament, the first time the Shockers will compete in the big dance since the 2017 season.
