How We Got Here
The Golden Eagles won their first Atlantic Regional championship since 2010 and just the second in program history, defeating IUP in the regional final last Saturday. Clarion in fact swept through the regional tournament, winning nine straight sets and three straight matches to earn a berth in the Championship. The team enters with a 28-6 overall record and was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Tournament runner-up.
 
Who to Watch
Clarion boasts two players who earned national honors this week, Cassidy Snider and London Fuller. Snider was named a D2CCA First Team All-American and an AVCA Second Team All-American on Wednesday and leads all of NCAA Division II in total kills with 585 on the season. Fuller, meanwhile, earned AVCA All-America Honorable Mention honors after directing the Golden Eagle offense to one of the best outputs in Division II this season.
 
Clarion also features a number of other athletes who have made significant impacts during the course of the season. Libero Abigail Selfridge earned All-PSAC West Second Team honors this year, while Julia Piccolino and Charlie Allison were both AVCA Atlantic Region All-Tournament picks.
 
About the Opponent
West Texas A&M earned the fourth seed after winning the program's 16^th South Central Region title, including a five-set win in the championship match against MSU Denver. This will be the third consecutive trip for the defending national champions under head coach Kendra Potts. Last year the Lady Buffs defeated Concordia-St. Paul in four sets at the 2022 Championship hosted in Seattle. They are ranked fifth nationally in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll.
