MTU
The Michigan Tech volleyball team has been picked to finish second in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference North Division this fall.

MTU will give local kids a chance to be part of the pregame ceremonies for this season’s football, hockey, basketball and volleyball games. For football games, the selected youngster will run the ball to the refs and stand on the sideline for the kickoff. At hockey games, he or she will lead the Huskies on to the ice and stand with them for the National Anthem. For basketball and volleyball contests, he or she will give the game ball to the referees, and sit on the bench with the team through the first quarter or set. The effort is part of the MIKidsCan campaign being promoted by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan. Participants will be selected by random drawing.
