Winning spikes and passes

VOLLEYBALL almost made the NCAA playoffs this fall, followed closely by football, which scored its best season since 2006. The past five years have been good for the Viking volleyball program under head coach Michael Seemann. The team made its fifth straight appearance in the Big Sky Conference championship. The Viking football team was considered one of the most improved in the nation, going from 2-9 in 2010 to 7-4 in 2011, and coming in third this season in the Big Sky.
