The head volleyball coaches of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) chose Grand Valley State University to win the North Division and Hillsdale College to win the South Division in pre-season balloting. Wayne State was selected fifth in the South Division.
Each of the GLIAC's 12 coaches voted for the division in which they play, but were not allowed to vote for their own team. First-place votes were worth five points, second-place were worth four, etc.
GLIAC play opens-up on Sept. 10 with Tiffin University playing at the University of Findlay in a 7:30 p.m. contest. The GLIAC Tournament quarterfinals will begin Nov. 12 at campus sites, with the semifinals and finals taking place Nov. 15-16 at the campus of the highest remaining seed.
