Volleyball voted Sixth in SCAC Coaches' Poll

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. -- Texas Lutheran Women's Volleyball has been picked to finish sixth in this year's Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship race.

After a season where the COVID-19 global pandemic pushed all volleyball competition from the fall to the spring semester for the first time in conference history, the league is planning for a return to some type of normalcy this fall.

Bulldogs' senior middle blocker Madison Weisinger (Friendswood/Friendswood) returns to lead TLU following a Second Team All-SCAC performance as a junior. Weisinger finished tied for second in the SCAC with 49 total blocks and is one of two returning Bulldogs to post over 100 kills last season with 111.

In exclusive voting by the league's head coaches, Trinity University, winner of 19 SCAC Titles, including two of the last five, has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the 2021 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) women's volleyball title. 

The 2021 SCAC Volleyball season is set to tip off with non-conference action on Wednesday, September 1, while the first SCAC regular season weekend is scheduled for Friday, September 24 with Colorado College and Dallas hosting group pods. Following the completion of the regular season, the top six teams in the league will compete in a single-elimination tournament, hosted by Trinity University in November, to determine the conference's automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament.
