Our women’s volleyball and men’s water polo teams came to the end of their seasons last week, but not before digging in and making a splash in the postseason. Volleyball advanced to the postseason for the first time since the program moved up to Division I in 1996, and water polo advanced to the NCAAs for the third time in the last four years.

Volleyball fell to Tulsa, 3-1, in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship on Wednesday (Dec. 4), while water polo lost to Pepperdine, 15-12, in a quarterfinal match the following day at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. Congrats to our Aggies for their great seasons.
