MILWAUKEE – Heading into the 2025 season, the MSOE women's volleyball team has been voted eighth in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) preseason poll, voted on by the league's head coaches and athletic communications professionals.

Defending champions Edgewood University led the poll with 18 first-place votes, followed by Aurora University in second with six votes and Concordia University Wisconsin in third with four votes. St. Norbert College and Lakeland University were voted fourth and fifth, while Benedictine University and Illinois Institute of Technology were voted sixth and seventh.

The Raiders improved from 12^th to 8^th last season to qualify for the NACC tournament for the first time since 2019.
