PLNC to Be Site of NAIA Volleyball

Point Loma Nazarene will play host to the 13th NAIA National Women’s Championships Dec. 3-5, the NAIA national offices have announced.

This marks the first time the championship has been held in California and the first time PLNC has hosted a national championship in any sport. The 20-team tournament will be held in Golden Gym on the PLNC campus.

The Crusaders, the 1990 Golden State Athletic Conference champion, will host the tournament. The 1991 championship was in Hays, Kansas, where Brigham Young-Hawaii won its third title.

INDOOR SOCCER

The Dallas Sidekicks, one of five teams stranded by the folding of the Major Soccer League, have aligned with the proposed Continental Indoor Soccer League, leaving the Sockers as the last former MSL team to decide its fate.

The Sockers still are studying the feasibility of joining the CISL and have apparently ruled out entering the Northeast-based National Professional Soccer League.
