The St. Cloud State volleyball team boasts a well rounded squad led by senior setter Emma Berran and redshirt senior Ella Thompson.

The Huskies are coming off of their best season in history, going undefeated in conference play and advancing to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.

When asked about this year’s tournament St. Cloud State volleyball head coach Chad Braegelman expressed his excitement for the event.

He mentioned how valuable it is to play more games at home and face off against several former NCAA Tournament teams.

Braegelman also talked about the opportunity his team has this year to utilize a more balanced offense.
