The Shippensburg University volleyball team has been included in the first edition of the 2025 NCAA Atlantic Region rankings released Wednesday.
 
The NCAA regional rankings are annually used to determine the teams that qualify for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Championships.
 
This edition of the rankings is unseeded. Next week, the teams will be listed in ranked order.
 
Rankings are released every Wednesday afternoon until the announcement of the tournament field, which is set for 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 24. Each set of rankings includes all matches played through the previous Sunday.
