FSU Lady Broncos Get Wheeling Jesuit in NCAA Volleyball Tournament

Coach Reeshemah Johnson will attempt to lead FSU to its first-ever win in NCAA Tournament play

FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina  -- For the second consecutive season, the Fayetteville State volleyball team will match up with Wheeling Jesuit in the NCAA Division II Volleyball Tournament.

That announcement was made on Monday night, when the Lady Broncos (19-7) were chosen to be the No. 8 seed in the Atlantic Region. Wheeling Jesuit, the region's top seed, will host the regional on their campus in Wheeling, West Va., on Dec. 5.

Last season, Wheeling Jesuit swept Fayetteville State out of the tournament, winning 25-10, 25-15, 25-10. The Cardinals went unbeaten in their inaugural season in the Mountain East Conference and finished 34-5 overall, closing out the year on a 10-match win streak.

FSU finished 12-4 in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, then won the conference tournament, closing with a pair of wins over Chowan and Winston-Salem State at Capel Arena on Saturday.
