65162015 NCAA Division II Central Region Tournament
December 3-5; St. Paul, Minn. (Gangelhoff Center)

    Dec. 3: (1) #1 Concordia-St. Paul def. (8) SWOSU 3-0
        12-25, 11-25, 15-25

RECAP: The SWOSU Volleyball team won a school-record 22 matches and their first-ever Great American Conference Tournament Championship, but the Bulldogs historic postseason run came to an end at the hands of Concordia-St. Paul, the top-ranked team in NCAA Division II.
    SWOSU entered the postseason as a long shot to advance, playing in Central Region, which had 11 teams ranked in the final AVCA Top 25 poll. Their first-ever foe in the NCAA Tournament was a Golden Bear squad that is a national powerhouse, having won seven NCAA Division II National Championships. Concordia-St. Paul was simply the better team as they defeated SWOSU 3-0, with set scores of 25-12, 25-11, 25-15.
    Concordia hit .532 for the match with 44 kills and 11.5 blocks, while SWOSU was limited to a hitting percentage of .070 and just 19 kills. The Bulldogs were led by junior Carly Zak, who hit .318 with 10 kills to finish the season with 446 kills, three shy of the single-season school record. Zak concluded her third year as a Bulldog with 1,157 kills, the most in program history. 
    One major difference in the match was at the net, where CSP finished with 11.5 blocks while SWOSU was held without a block for the first time all season as the Golden Bears worked effectively against one of the Bulldogs strengths. CSP out-dug the Dawgs 35-26 and had 10 service aces, compared to three for SWOSU.
