Members of RU Men's Volleyball Win USAV National Championship
Dallas, TX - On May 29th-31st the USAV held its Adult National Championships in Dallas, TX. An Alumni and former player here at RU, Matthew Corrales, gathered up some players from Reinhardt.
Thanks to some great sponsors including FCA Reinhardt, Matt was able to make the team and the opportunity to play in the National Championship Tournament a reality!
Throughout the 3 days of playing, the guys had an amazing experience but what came on the last day was something they'll never forget as they won the tournament and the 2023 USAV Adult National Championship. Ricardo Mujca and Victor Pacheco made the All-Tournament team, along with Rodolfo Biegelmeyer who also was named MVP!
When asked about the experience, Ricky had this to say; "We faced some great teams and adversity throughout the tournament but what really pushed us through was we are truly a family, and that was how we pushed through. All the Glory to God, what a blessing this is!"

The Eagles are coming off one of their most successful seasons in the short program history. The team finished in second position in the regular season AAC standings and made it to the semifinals of the AAC Tournament. With most of the team returning, there is a lot to look forward to this January 2024 when the season starts back again. The team had several All-Conference performers, which should be ready to lead the team in 2024.
