GAMES THIS WEEK CONFERENCE NOTES Sunday, January 24 Delaware State at Old Dominion, 3 p.m. MEAC OVERVIEW George Mason at Norfolk State, 5:30 p.m. • The 2020 MEAC volleyball season will see eight of the league’s 11 programs competing (Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M and Mary- NOTE: matchs and times are subject to change land Eastern Shore have opted out due to concerns over COVID-19) in a regular-season conference scheduling format that splits the teams into divisions -- in an effort to reduce travel time, reduce missed class time, and prevent the need for air travel. Coppin State, Delaware State, Howard and Morgan State will make up the North- ern Division, with Norfolk State, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State comprising the Southern Division for the spring campaign.

THE SEASON THAT WAS • The 2019 MEAC volleyball regular season saw Howard and North Carolina A&T State win their respective divisions, each team only losing one match in league play, before the MEAC Volleyball Cham- pionship took place on Howard’s campus. Morgan State’s Zoe Mc- Bride and North Carolina A&T State’s Edie Brewer were named MEAC Co-Players of the Year. The Bison outlasted Morgan State in a five-set thriller in the championship match. GAMES LAST WEEK 2020 MEAC VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP • The 2020 MEAC Volleyball Championship will take place on the campus of Norfolk State University the weekend of April 2-3, Fri- day-Saturday. The top two teams in each division will qualify for the tournament, which will see its field cut from eight teams to four because of issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Saturday’s championship match will likely once again be broadcast live on one of ESPN’s family of networks (exact network and match time are still dubject to determination), with the winner earning the MEAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Volleyball Championships. Howard has won the last five MEAC Tournament titles.
