WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Gallaudet women's volleyball team is excited to host the 6th annual Worthington Classic at the Field House this weekend, beginning on Friday, Sept. 28, and continuing through Saturday, Sept. 29. The eight-team event features eight matches each day, culminating with the championship at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

During her 24 seasons, Worthington amassed a school-best 615-305 record. In 1981, Worthington and the Bison finished with a 36-6 record and were ranked nationally for the first time in program history. The Bison also received their first-ever All-American under Coach Worthington. Four years later, GU reaches No. 6 in the nation and advance to the NCAA tournament and finish with a 44-6 mark. Six of Worthington's former athletes have been inducted into the Gallaudet Athletic Hall of Fame. She also coached 26 Bison in five different Deaflympics.
