Despite winning the last three conference championships, the Murray State volleyball team is not picked in the top three in the OVC for the 2017 season. The three-time defending OVC champions have been picked to finish fourth in the 2017 Preseason OVC Poll, as voted on by the league’s coaches and Sports Information Directors.
The Racers, who garnered six first-place votes in the poll, received a total of 188 points. Belmont was tabbed as the preseason favorite as they received 223 points and 10 first-place votes while Austin Peay (214 points) and SIU Edwardsville (199 Points) was picked second and third, respectively.
MSU will kick off the 2017 season August 25 at the Samford Invite.
