About St. Norbert College Women's Volleyball

Our women's volleyball program began in 1974. Since that time, the Green Knights have won 16 conference titles, including 12 in the Midwest Conference. We have appeared in eight NCAA Division III tournaments, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 1993. St. Norbert moved to the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference in 2021.

The Green Knights play home games on campus at Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center, which opened in 2017. The Green Knights previously played at the former Schuldes Sports Center, and before that, Van Dyke Gym (which is inside the Ray Vanden Heuvel Campus Center).
