Attempting to earn its fourth consecutive Big Sky Conference regular season championship, and third Big Sky tournament championship in the last four years, the Sac State volleyball team will host the conference tournament starting Thursday night and commencing on Saturday.

The Hornets, leading the conference, will get a first round bye and get to watch Thursday night’s action. Thursday’s first game will feature Eastern Washington, the number three seed, versus number six Montana, at 5 p.m. At 7:30, number five Cal State Northridge will battle number four Montana State.

Sac State, as the top seed, will play the lowest seed left on Friday at 7:30 p.m., while Northern Arizona is matched up against the other surviving team on Friday at 5 p.m.

The championship game will be played at 7 p.m. on Saturday. All games will be played in the Hornet Gym.

Leading Sac State will be senior Sarah Chlebana, juniors Tasman Dwyer and Esther Rogers and freshman Lisa Beauchene. All four athletes were named to the all-Big Sky Conference team. Sac State’s four players tied the team with Northern Arizona for the most in the conference.
