"With our recent successes using the Hutchinson Sports Arena to host the Fall Fling season kickoff tournament and the KCAC Volleyball Championships, this was the right time to extend our agreement with the city of Hutchinson ensuring continuity for the coming three school years," stated Crawford.  "Hutchinson has really delivered with a quality facility, great support from local businesses, and helping the conference develop strong relationships with the overall community."

The KCAC Volleyball Championship will be held at the Hutchinson Sports Arena November 14-16, 2019.  This eight-team championship will determine which KCAC colleges stamp their ticket to the NAIA National Championship.
