Dayton hosted a reception in honor of the Golden Bears, who won their seventh consecutive NCAA Division II championship in December. They are the first volleyball team to win seven consecutive NCAA titles across any division. The team won the title last year after defeating Brigham Young University-Hawaii 3-0.
