FARMINGTON, Utah (November 26, 2019) --
 With the 2019 Big Sky Championship field set there are eight teams that will be competing for the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.  
  • The 2019 Big Sky Volleyball Championship takes place this week, Nov. 28-30 and will be hosted by Sacramento State.
  • It took until the last day of the regular season to decide the field but after the dust settled from an exciting 2019 season eight teams sealed their spot in the championship.  
  • Northern Colorado locked up the No. 1 seed a couple of weeks ago but they didn’t know who they would play until this past Saturday.  No. 8 Montana will face the Bears after finishing the season tied with Portland State.  The Griz held the head-to-head tiebreaker to earn their spot in the championship.
  • Five schools were represented on the All-Big Sky first team.  Three schools, Montana State, Northern Colorado and Weber State, had three players represented on the first team.
