Events will begin with team practices on Wednesday, followed by
Christian service projects for each team in the afternoon. On
Wednesday evening, there will be the championship banquet, where
NCCAA All-American, National Player of the Year and Coach of the
Year awards will be presented. Tournament pool play will take place
on Thursday and Friday with two pools of five teams each. The
semifinal and championship matches will be on Saturday.
LCU last hosted the NCCAA DII volleyball national tournament in
2003-2006, having recently completed construction of the Laughlin
Center. The tournament was hosted by Grace University in 2007 and
2008, and then in 2009 it moved down to Florida Christian College in
Kissimmee, Fla.
"LCU is extremely excited about being given the opportunity to
host the national tournament once again," says Mac Ingmire, LCU's
coordinator of athletics. "We're looking forward to having the
tournament back in Lincoln and being able to give more fans the
opportunity to attend the event due to our central location within
the country. With the planning process already started, we believe
it will be one of the best tournaments yet!"
