If you’re hoping to see the NCAA Women’s Division 1 Volleyball Championships in person this week, you’ve got one final chance.

8 of Key Arena’s 48 suites are still available, each accommodating 16 people. You can book directly through Key Arena’s suite website.


VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The NCAA is sponsoring a free Youth Volleyball Clinic at Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club this Saturday. The clinics, open to kids in grades 3 through 8, require advance registration on the NCAA website.

The clinic still needs ten more volunteers to assist with registration, traffic flow, t-shirt distribution and other duties. If you’d like to help, please send an email right away to kticen @ seattlesports.org.

  1. I remember I lost my voice every time after Sonic’s game at Key Arena, it was so crowded and loud. Not sure Huskies ever have played in front of this kind of huge crowd and noise environment, and it could be overwhelming for our players. Hopefully Huskies will react well and handle them well, keep calm and concentrated.
    What the crowd can do to help Huskies is to keep quite when Pen State serves, and be loud when Huskies serves.

    1. You've obviously never been to Hec Ed when they played Stanford, Oregon, Cal or UCLA.

  2. Now it's Thursday at 10:45 am and there are maybe 70 lower bowl tickets available via Ticketmaster ... perhaps some schools turned some back in ... they are mostly in the very highest rows of the 100 sections.
