Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
The Wright State volleyball team is focused solely on winning its last two matches to claim the Horizon League regular-season title, hosting the conference tourney as the No. 1 seed and then winning that to advance to the NCAA tourney.
But if things should go awry, the Raiders’ season may not be over.
They’re 23-4 overall and 15-1 in the league and have a shiny RPI rating of 35. That’s normally not mid-major territory, and it’s put them in position for an NCAA at-large berth if they don’t get the HL’s automatic bid.
“It’s certainly something we’ve been tracking,” third-year coach Travers Green said. “To have another path into the NCAA tournament is always a good thing.
“But best-case scenario, we punch our ticket the way we have in the past and win our conference tournament, and that helps you a great deal with seeding.”
The only Wright State team ever to earn an at-large bid was the 2019 volleyball team. It was ranked 44th in the RPI.
