NAU did not drop a set en route to winning the conference tournament on its home court in the Rolle Activity Center last week, knocking off Southern Utah and Sacramento State prior to the championship match. Senior Janae Vander Ploeg was named the Big Sky Tournament MVP, while senior Payton Bock and juniors Lauren Jacobsen and Jensen Barton were also named to the All-Tournament Team.

The first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament will be held Dec. 3-5 at 16 campus sites across the country.
