RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. –  With the 2026 Great American Conference volleyball regular season complete, the league announced the bracket and schedule for the GAC Volleyball Championships. The event begins Wednesday, Nov. 11 from the Stride Bank Center in Enid, Okla.

The quarterfinals start at 10 a.m. when No. 3 Ouachita Baptist faces No. 6 Southeastern Oklahoma State. In the regular season, the Tigers bested the Savage Storm in their lone meeting this year in Arkadelphia, 3-1.

The second quarterfinal features second-seeded Harding and seventh-seeded Southern Nazarene. The Crimson Storm were one of the Lady Bisons' three losses in conference this season with SNU getting after HU in Bethany, 3-0. Since that loss, the Lady Bisons' have won nine straight.

Oklahoma Baptist takes on East Central in Wednesday’s third match. The Bison won the GAC regular season title for the first time since 2021 while entering the tournament as the defending GAC Tournament Champions, winning last year's postseason title as the league's No. 5 seed.

Wednesday’s action concludes with No. 4 Southwestern Oklahoma State taking on No. 5 Arkansas Tech. The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven matches, including four of their last five in straight sets. The Golden Suns did outlast SWOSU in Russellville back in early October, 3-2.

Friday’s semifinals begin at 2 p.m. and Saturday’s final starts at 3 p.m. The GAC Sports Network will stream all seven contests. For complete coverage and additional information, visit the Women’s Volleyball Championship Central page.
