Colorado College Volleyball heads to SCAC Championships in Texas

Colorado College volleyball travels to Longview, Texas, this weekend to compete in the 2026 SCAC Championships.

The Tigers, who enter the tournament as the defending SCAC tournament champion, carry a 19-4 overall record and a 10-3 mark in conference play, Colorado College Athletics reported.

The tournament begins Friday, Nov. 13, with the Tigers positioned as the No. 3 seed. They are scheduled to face the No. 6 seed and tournament host, LeTourneau, in a quarterfinal match at 1 p.m. (CT). Success on Friday afternoon could set up a high-stakes evening matchup against the No. 2 seed, Hendrix, at 6:30 p.m. (CT).

For the seniors on this roster, the stakes extend beyond a single trophy. Winning the SCAC Tournament provides the most direct path to postseason play, as the champion receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

“Heading into the SCAC Championships we are excited to compete for a conference title. We have worked really hard this season and there’s no better way to show our dedication and growth than on the conference stage. With our core starters being seniors, they are ready to leave it all on the floor with one last conference run,” interim head coach Nikki Binetti told Colorado College Athletics.

The Tigers’ depth and talent were validated by recent conference honors. Four members of the team earned spots on the 2026 all-SCAC teams, a group that included the most first-team selections of any program in the league, according to Colorado College Athletics.

Senior Brooke Brilliant was named the SCAC Volleyball Player of the Year, while senior Annie Joo earned the distinction of SCAC Setter of the Year. The first-team accolades also included senior Camille Sherrill, while senior Meghan Gannon was selected to the second team.

The team enters the postseason with momentum following a strong finish to the regular season. Last weekend in Irving, Texas, the Tigers secured two three-set victories to close out their schedule, defeating McMurry in a non-conference match and blanking the University of Dallas.

The tournament bracket presents a challenging path for the No. 3 seed. While LeTourneau enters as the host with an 11-4 overall record and a 7-6 conference mark, they arrive following a 3-0 victory over Centenary in their regular-season finale.

Should the Tigers advance past the quarterfinals, they face a Hendrix team that finished the regular season 16-7 overall and 11-2 in the SCAC. Although Hendrix fell 3-0 to Austin College in their final match, their seeding makes it difficult for the defending champions to advance.

Team	Overall Record	SCAC Record	Tournament Seed
Hendrix	16-7	11-2	No. 2
Colorado College	19-4	10-3	No. 3
LeTourneau	11-4	7-6	No. 6

The tournament culminates on Saturday, Nov. 14, with the SCAC Championship Match scheduled for 3 p.m. (CT).
