NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship Information

We are about one month away from the Selections for the 2016 NCAA DI Women's Volleyball Championships - Below is information with regards to The Road to the Championship.  Unfortunately, it does not list the host sites of 1st/2nd rounds and Regionals, but first and second weekends are a great time to see the 'championship' without having to travel the long distances (unless you live on campus at OSU...excuse me, The Ohio State University).
