Weber State’s volleyball team reached the NCAA tournament for the third time after winning a dramatic 2023 Big Sky Volleyball Championship.

The Wildcats executed three comeback wins at the Big Sky tournament last November in Greeley, Colorado, defeating Portland State 3-0 in the first round, Sacramento State 3-2 in the second round and Montana State 3-2 in the championship match. The win capped off a successful season with an overall record of 21-10, including 11-5 in the Big Sky Conference.

³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø standout Dani Richins was named MVP of the Big Sky tournament, Makayla Sorensen was named the Big Sky Libero of the Year and earned second team All-Big Sky honors, and Kate Standifird also earned first-team All-Big Sky honors.

Despite a strong fight, the Wildcats fell to BYU in three sets in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats previously competed in the tournament in 1998 and 2021.
