Viterbo Volleyball was seconds away from getting swept in the North Star conference championship over the weekend.
They faced several match points against Bellevue, and wound up winning in five sets to clinch an automatic bid to the national tournament.
The V-Hawks say that kind of response when backs are against the wall is a testament to their mental game.
“We’ve got a great sense of grit and we really enjoy working with together,” senior Maya Roberts said, “so there’s a great sense of coming together as a team when things get tough. And in this program we talk a lot about the process. That’s constantly working hard getting after it.”
