Hyland Arena.^[2] The Lions were members of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and were picked to finish seventh in the MIVA preseason poll.^[3] Because D1 and D2 men's volleyball are combined, Lindenwood's move to D1's OVC did not affect the men's volleyball program, and they were eligible for all postseason play.^[4]
