INDIANAPOLIS, MINN. – For the first time since 2004, the St. Cloud State University volleyball team is headed to the NCAA Division II Volleyball Tournament.

The team's round foe will be a familiar one, as St. Cloud State is slotted to face Northern State University in the opening round of the tournament at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
Thanks to what has already been a historic season, the Huskies earned an at-large bid and ended their 15-year postseason drought, as they will make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2004.
