What PLU fall sports team won its Northwest Conference championship?
If you guessed the national championship football team, you were wrong. The football team finished second in the conference standings. In fact, the PLU volleyball team won its first-ever Northwest Conference title. Under the direction of head Coach Kevin Aoki ’84, and sparked by the play of all-conference setter Ingrid Lindeblad ’00, the Lutes won 20 of their 26 matches to tie a school record. PLU advanced to the regional semifinals before being ousted from the national tournament.
