Pre-Tournament Notes:

Wittenberg (8-0, 21-2) has won its 21st North Coast Athletic Conference volleyball championship after finishing the season with a perfect mark against league foes for the fifth year in a row and the 18th time overall. Allegheny is second all-time with five titles (1985, 88-91), while Hiram, Kenyon and Ohio Wesleyan have each accumulated two titles. Wooster earned the inaugural conference championship in 1984.

Ohio Wesleyan (7-1, 25-4) finished second in the final league standings, while Denison (5-3, 13-12), DePauw (5-3, 17-10) and Hiram (5-3, 20-10) finished in a three-way tie for third-place. There was another three-way tie for sixth between Allegheny (2-6, 17-11), Kenyon (2-6, 13-12) and Oberlin (2-6, 8-16), while Wooster (0-8, 12-14) rounded out the league standings in ninth. Both three-way ties were broken via conference policy for tournament seeding purposes only.

As league champions, Wittenberg has earned the No. 1 seed and hosting rights for the 2015 NCAC Volleyball Tournament for the 10th year in a row. The 12-match, two-day event will be held at Pam Evans Smith Arena in Springfield, Ohio, November 6-7.
