(Norhternsun.org) The defending NSIC Regular Season Co-Champions of Concordia-St. Paul were picked by the league coaches in the NSIC Preseason Volleyball Poll. Wayne State, which shared the NSIC Regular Season title with CSP, was picked second with 207 points and three first place votes while defending NSIC Tournament Champion, St. The 2026 NSIC Volleyball season will begin with non-conference matches on Thursday, August 27 while the NSIC schedule begins September 11. The NSIC regular season champion will be determined by the 20-match conference schedule. I look forward to watching as our team develops a new identity that occurs with the graduation of three very talented players.
