CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA – The St. Catherine University volleyball team wasted no time jumping in to the 2017 season. In the last two weeks, the Wildcats have played 10 matches and posted a 5-5 weekend. On Saturday, St. Kate's looks to establish an above .500 record at the Coe Triangular in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The Wildcats will face Occidental College and host Coe in the triangular tournament in back-to-back games at 1 and 3 p.m. Live stats and video will be available for both matches, and score updates can be found on St. Kate's official Twitter page (@stkateswildcats).
