The Vikings win the league with the win, but could have qualified with a loss by teams close to them in the standings, as YSU was looking for a win for an outside shot of squirming into the last seed in the tournament. Valparaiso lost Friday in Milwaukee and finish 11-5, two games behind the Vikes. In the Quarterfinals, #3 Butler (10-5 HL) will face #6 Green Bay (5-10) and #4 Milwaukee (9-6) will take on #5 UIC (8-7).
The final regular season match was a win for volleyball seniors Kayla Lefeld, Beth Greulich, Liz Fazio, and the rest of the Viking team. Now the 2009 Horizon League Championships will be played on the Viking's home floor starting Friday, November 20th. The Vikings will be at home the rest of the tournament that will consist of them playing the lowest seed coming out of the Quarterfinals on Saturday the 21st with a time to be determined.
"I think home court is great. It's nice to be able to sleep in your own bed, go through your same routine, and there are no distractions when you are at home," the head coach exclaimed. "We know we have to take it one play at a time, one game at a time and one match at a time to be successful."
