Campbellsville, KY – The Campbellsville University Lady Tiger Volleyball Team has advanced to the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in the program’s history after winning the NAIA Region XI Tournament tonight Henderson, Tennessee.
Campbellsville defeated Union University in the semi-finals of the tournament on Saturday afternoon. It took five games, but head coach Randy LeBleu’s team rallied after losing the first two games, 28-30 and 27-30 and won the next three games 33-31, 30-27 and 15-8 to advance into the Championship game.
In the tournament final, the Lady Tigers matched up against Mid-South Conference rival Georgetown. Campbellsville had defeated Georgetown 3-2 in the first of three previous meetings this season, however Georgetown had won the previous two matchups 3-0, including the Mid-South Conference Tournament Championship a week earlier.
The classic battle between the two rivals was won by Campbellsville with a 3-2 score (30-28; 24-30; 28-30; 30-27; 15-8) and propelled Campbellsville with a 35-7 record into the National Tournament that begins on November 28, 2007 in Columbia, Missouri.
