The confetti comes down after the NAIA volleyball championship in Sioux City in 2021.

In a battle of highly seeded teams, the NAIA college women’s volleyball national tournament in Sioux City crowned a champion, with a team from Indiana winning the championship for a third straight year.

Indiana Wesleyan won the title at the Tyson Events Center on Tuesday evening, to finish the weeklong tourney. The team defeated Northwestern College of Orange City, Iowa, 3-1 in sets.

That makes something of a dynasty for Indiana Wesleyan, with the Wildcats taking a third straight NAIA title in volleyball. Indiana Wesleyan finishes the year with a 33-4 record, and three of their players were named to the All-Tournament Team.

Indiana Wesleyan also defeated Northwestern in the 2023 championship.

The 2025 championships were held in Sioux City for an 18th consecutive year. The 24 teams and fans gave an economic jolt to the metro area over the week.
