2023 Record (as of April 18): 31-3
Stevens has enjoyed a successful three-year run since Buehring took over as coach in 2021. The Ducks are 31-3 heading into the 2023 NCAA postseason, which marks the second-straight season they’ve reached 30 wins. That record is even more impressive considering Stevens has played 11 matches against teams ranked in the top 10.

2023 Record (as of April 18): 24-1
For Vassar men’s volleyball, 2023 has been a year to remember. Following a loss to Stevens the second match of the season, the Brewers have won 23 straight heading into this year’s NCAA Championship.
