ST. CLOUD -- Cyclones Volleyball was victorious over Ridgewater College Wednesday night, making their record 6-1, after not havening a season last year due to COVID-19.

Athletic Director Nate Hiestand says missing a season only increased their motivation for this year.

I see a little bit of a hunger there, specifically in our volleyball team after having that year off. You see them and they're pretty happy to be on the court right now.
