Volleyball team risks forfeiting a championship to stand for the ‘future of women’s sports’

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | Daily Signal The women of the University of Nevada at Reno volleyball team plan to defy their school by refusing to compete against a team with a biological male player. “We are risking our main goal, which is a Mountain West championship,” University of Nevada women’s volleyball team captain and outside hitter Sia Liilii told The Daily Signal. “A team is a group that bands together to reach a common goal, and that is the purpose of our spot-on the team.
