KANSAS CITY, MO -- The NAIA has just released the official qualifiers for the 2023 Men's Volleyball National Championship and, spoiler alert, the Oaks are IN! The 12-team bracket features the eight automatic bids who won their Conference Championship, three at-large bids who were voted on by the coaches in the NAIA, and one host berth. The action will take place inside MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex in West Des Moines, Iowa starting on April 11th.

#6 Menlo has earned an At-Large bid into the 2023 National Tournament after going 15-7 overall this season. The GSAC claims four spots in the National Tournament, the most of any Conference in the country, and took all three At-Large bids that were available. #5 OUAZ and Menlo each made appearances and #2 Vanguard was the runner-up of the GSAC Conference Tournament. That allowed Conference Champions #3 The Master's to secure their spot into Nationals. Menlo has landed in Pool C which also houses The Master's and #11 Indiana Tech. 

Up Next....
The Oaks are still alive! They fly out to Des Moines, Iowa next week for their first appearance in a National Championship Tournament in program history. First, against Indiana Tech on Wednesday April 12 at 8am PT (10am CT) and then against The Master's on Thursday April 13 at 8am PT (10am CT).
