Huntington, IN – On a two-day trip to Huntington, Indiana for the Forester Invitational, the Calumet College of St. Joseph Women's Volleyball team came away with their first win since October 2023.
The Crimson Wave faced the host Huntington, along with Rio Grande on Friday, followed by Wilberforce and IU Columbus on Saturday. Despite only winning three sets the entire tournament, the three CCSJ did win helped Emilier De Jesus earn his first win as the women's head volleyball coach.
"We are so excited to get our first win, especially with all the returners from last season contributing in big ways," De Jesus said. "Everyone is locked in from the athletes to the coaches."
