CANYON, Texas - The West Texas A&M Athletic Department announced last evening that the watch party for the NCAA Division II Volleyball National Championship Match will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the First United Bank Center.

The #5 Lady Buffs will face off with #1 Concordia-St. Paul in WT's first national championship appearance since 1997. The Golden Bears are the two time defending national champion ('07, '08) and are on an NCAA record 73 game win streak.

WT advanced to the finals with a victory over Flagler University in four sets on Friday evening, while Concordia took care of #2 Cal State-San Bernadino in four sets in a rematch of the 2008 national championship match.

The FUBC will host a doubleheader of basketball games starting at 2:00 p.m. with the Lady Buffs hosting Southeastern Oklahoma immediately followed by the men hitting the court against the Savage Storm with tipoff set for 4:00 p.m.

We will have concession stands open for your convenience.
