The 2013 Concordia-St. Paul volleyball team made NCAA history by becoming the first NCAA Volleyball program to capture 7-straight NCAA Championships, across all three divisions. The 7-straight titles is also the fourth-longest NCAA Division II women's championship streak in any sport. The 2016 and 2017 teams captured the program's eighth and ninth championships, respectively, the second most across the three NCAA divisions, trailing only Washington-St. Louis' 10 titles.
Adding to the impressive feat by the program, Concordia-St. Paul has been an NCAA Division II member since 1999-2000 with the first year of NCAA postseason eligibility in 2002-03.
