“Passing is between your ears, that’s what it comes down to. You either believe in yourself, have confidence in yourself, or you don’t,” Chris Herron said, Washburn volleyball’s head coach. “You have 10 teams ranked in the top 25 in the country in our region, you have five in the top 10. I said, ‘If you play anything like this next week or two weeks from now, then the same thing will happen to you again.'”
The ‘Bods will await their fate in the 2025 DII Women’s Volleyball selection show which is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 6:30 p.m.
