The Radford University volleyball team has a tough assignment in its first NCAA Tournament appearance. The Highlanders (25-10) will visit 13th-ranked Southern California for a first-round match Wednesday night.

The winner will advance to meet Stanford, the 1992 champion, on Saturday.

"I'm very surprised we're heading to the West Coast, but we're thrilled to be part of the championships," said Janell Dobbins, who is retiring as Radford's coach at the end of the season. "We've had a wonderful season and I couldn't be more proud of this team."
