Northern Kentucky University is celebrating 50 years of NKU Women’s Volleyball this weekend.

Over that span, the program has compiled 1,121 wins against 562 losses. NKU was also the first university in the commonwealth to award scholarships to female athletes.

The university is honoring that legacy with alumnae, coaches and fans at Saturday’s 2 p.m. match at Regent’s Hall. Four of the program’s six head coaches will attend, along with returning alumnae.
