In May, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that prevented Quinnipiac University from eliminating women's volleyball.
Judge Stefan Underhill granted an injunction that keeps the team intact until a gender equity lawsuit against the school can be heard.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut brought the lawsuit on behalf of the team and its coach, who say Quinnipiac isn't in compliance with Title IX laws.
At the time of the ruling, University attorney Mary Gambardella said Quinnipiac would be harmed if the volleyball team is reinstated because it has already eliminated men's golf and outdoor track. She said reinstating women's volleyball would leave the school without gender equity.
