Thoughts from Coach Bruns
"Excited to get the season started.  We have a brand new squad and we have been working out a lot of the kinks during the fall.  We are looking forward to battling every point and starting off the year on a good note."

Arizona Christian
After concluding the 2023 season with a 11-10 record and their first ever NAIA Top 15 appearance, third year Head Coach Trent Bruns has restocked the talent cupboard for ACU.  The Firestorm will look to gel quickly as they will play 11 matches against teams that begin the season ranked in the top 15.

ACU Key Returning Players
Kyle Berger- 172 assists
Jon Koch- 27 kills, 29 blocks

Series Notes
After dropping the first two matches to the Buccaneers, the Firestorm have won the last three meetings to own a 3-2 all-time series lead.  All but one of the matches have been decided in three sets.

Park Gilbert
Like the Firestorm, Friday will be the season opener for the Buccaneers and second year Head Coach Vince Zanzucchi.  Park Gilbert went 2-17 in 2023.
