About the Tournament 
 
The 2019 Southwestern Athletic Conference women's volleyball tournament will take place Friday, November 22 through Sunday, November 24 on the campus of Mississippi Valley State University in the R. W. Harrison HPER Complex.

This year marks the 31st year schools will participate in the league's tournament. The winner of the tournament receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Grambling State, Jackson State, Prairie View A&M, Southern, and Texas Southern are the only teams to have captured the conference postseason title.

Last year, Alabama State claimed its fifth SWAC championship in the past six seasons, defeating arch-rival Alabama A&M in four sets to win the title. Alabama State, Jackson State and Alabama A&M are responsible for the last 12 SWAC volleyball champions.

If successful in their title defense, the Lady Hornets would become the first team in nearly a decade to reel off four consecutive titles. The only other team that has four or more consecutive titles is rival Alabama A&M, who has six and four (2000-05 and 2007-10).

The semifinals will be shown live on the SWAC Digital Network, and the championship match will broadcast on ESPNU at Sunday, Nov. 18 at 9:00 p.m. CST.

Admission to each tournament match is free.  T-shirts are on-sale for $15 on site.
