One more day. Just one more chance to play together.

That was the mindset and goal head coach Candace Moats and the Indiana Wesleyan volleyball team, particularly the seven Wildcat seniors, carried into the 2025 postseason and NAIA National Tournament about a month ago.

The Wildcats certainly maximized their days together.

Indiana Wesleyan continued one of the most incredible runs in NAIA women's volleyball history by winning a third-straight National Championship Tuesday night in Sioux City, Iowa, and those seniors left a legacy that will be difficult to match.

During the historic three-year stretch, IWU collected 108 wins in 114 matches, went 62-1 against Crossroads League opponents and swept all three regular season and league tourney titles.
