November 10, 2021
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the first time since 2008 the Oregon Tech volleyball team is ranked inside the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll. The Owls, who have won 14 of their last 15 games moved into the poll with a No. 25 ranking this week up from the receiving votes category.
"I am incredibly proud of the hard work the team has put in to receive this honor," said head coach Ken Murczek. "It has been enjoyable to see how much this group has improved over the course of the season and now to get rewarded for it on a national level."
Tech has advanced to the Cascade Conference Semifinals this Friday and will play No. 12 Eastern Oregon University at 3:30 pm at Corban University in Salem.
