Rochester, Mn-
In their last volleyball action before the final stretch run to the NJCAA Region XIII A and B playoffs, several teams from the Minnesota College Athletic Conference converged on the Coon Rapids campus of Anoka-Ramsey Community College for the MCAC/Twin Cities Gateway Crossover Tournament.
With the event designed to enhance cross-Divisional play, several current and former NJCAA ranked teams squared off over the course of two days to compete against teams in the Northern and Southern Divisions.
