ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM, SEASON:

We have six seniors on our roster this year and seven returners from last season. I like the balance of experience with fresh faces this year. I think we have a great defensive attitude and a will to win. This team is gritty and plays technically sound volleyball. My expectation is always for a team to improve throughout the season and to be playing their best ball by the end of the season. I am looking for a technically sound team with a passionate drive. Our team goals include winning the SBAAC and advancing out of the sectional tournament.
