CSUSB Womens Volleyball aims for Championship
Last year’s season-ender against No. 21-ranked Florida Southern in the NCAA quarterfinals was nothing short of an unbelievable year for the California State University San Bernardino Women’s Volleyball team, but for them it was yet another reason to come back stronger than ever for the upcoming season.
