“At the WAC tournament, we ended up two and two on the day,” coach Shannon Funk said. “We really had a goal to win WAC [and] to win the league championship, and that didn’t end up happening. So, it was a little bit frustrating us, and we’re looking forward to this coming weekend.”
This upcoming weekend, the volleyball team has sub-state, which will be held on Oct. 26 at Goddard.
