Wright State planned for a long stay when it left Sunday for the NCAA volleyball tournament.
The entire event is being held in Omaha, Neb., and the coaches and players stuffed their suitcases with enough outfits and gear to get them through an extended run.
Asked after a first-round win Wednesday how much they packed, coach Allie Matters said: “Not like a ‘Final Four’ amount of clothes, but we did bring detergent in case we had to do laundry. I think we’ll be good going into tomorrow.”
The Raiders were beyond good against Samford while breezing to a 3-0 victory, winning 25-20, 25-12, 25-15.
They became the first Horizon League team to notch an NCAA victory. The conference had been 0-29.
They’ll play in the second round at 7 p.m. today against Texas (23-1), the Big 12 champs and No. 4 overall seed. The winner will advance to the Sweet 16 on Monday.
