Before dropping back into high school sports coverage, I have some college sports news to post. Exciting! The SCSU Huskies volleyball team is heading to the NCAA Sweet 16!

They compete in the NCAA Central Region championship tomorrow at Halenbeck Hall.

Game scores for SCSU were 23-25, 25-15, 25-16, 25-20. The Huskies are 29-2 overall.
