WINONA, Minn. – The #10 Winona State University volleyball team hosts #7 Concordia-St. Paul in a top-10 battle today at 1pm in McCown Gymnasium, home of WNB Financial Court.
The Warriors (20-3, 11-3 NSIC) are coming off a 3-1 victory over Upper Iowa on Thursday evening and the Golden Bears (19-4, 13-1 NSIC) defeated Minnesota State 3-0 on Thursday as well.
