BILLINGS, MT – The Montana State-Billings volleyball team is ranked first in this week’s NCAA Southwest Region poll released by the NCAA Volleyball Committee on Wednesday.  It is the first time a Yellowjacket volleyball team has been ranked No. 1 in the region at any point of the season.

The top eight teams in the final NCAA Regional poll will receive invitations to the NCAA Tournament.  The Yellowjackets can also earn their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tourney by winning the Heartland Conference Tournament which they will host in Billings on November 3 and 4.
