SEATTLE – The Husky volleyball team will open the 2022 season inside the top-10 of the AVCA coaches poll, as the preseason rankings were rolled out this afternoon. Washington checked in at the No. 8 spot, highest out of the Pac-12.
 
Washington finished last season at No. 12 in the rankings following a Sweet 16 five set loss at No. 2 Texas. Texas ranks No. 2 again to start this season, while Nebraska is the preseason No. 1. The defending champion Wisconsin starts at No. 3.
