SAU to visit Olivet Nazarene to open CCAC Tournament

St. Ambrose will visit Olivet Nazarene for a first-round matchup of the 2024 CCAC Men's Volleyball Tournament Tuesday night.

The Bees enter the postseason on a roll, winning their final two matches of the regular season. The two victories were must-wins as they allowed SAU to slip into the single-elimination CCAC Tournament as the No. 6 seed. 

St. Ambrose (8-25) will Olivet Nazarene (13-10), who earned the No. 3 seed with a 7-3 conference mark. The Tigers defeated the Bees 26-24, 25-20, 25-16 on Mar. 12 in the teams' only regular-season meeting.

The SAU-ONU winner will face Calumet St. Joseph in the tournament semifinal Friday at Saint Xavier.

Tuesday's other first-round match will have Judson hosting Trinity Christian. That winner will face top-seed Saint Xavier in the semifinals. The championship match will be played at SXU Saturday at 1 p.m.
