2012 Season is upon us

Well the time has come to lace up the shoes and strap on the knee pads for the high intense competition of college volleyball.  We finish the 2 weeks of preseason extremely anxious to play against someone other than ourselves.  It will be a true test of where we are as a team and what areas we still need to improve.  It has been an interesting preseason for us with injuries creeping up on us a bit and other issues that have slowed our progress.  However, after today's practice I believe we have built some confidence and rhythm with our players.

Some key players to watch will be Dani Bird (So., OH from Omaha, NE), Rachel Tinklenberg (Jr., MH from Pipestone, MN), Elizabeth Mahsem (Fr., MH from MacFarland, WI), Sammy Fluck (FR., OH from Becker, MN) and Maggie Stehly (Fr., Libero from Sioux Falls, SD)

There have been some very good moments for every player in our program and the selection of a travel roster for this weekend was very difficult.  We will have a predominantly young lineup out on the floor for the entire season so I am sure we'll have some up and down rhythms to the season.  All in all we are excited about what the future brings and are positive that we have more successes than failures this year.

We'll have another update next week with some information about the matches from this upcoming weekend.   We wish all of you reading this the best of luck this weekend if you are playing as well.  Take care and have a great day.

- Coach V
