LSC Volleyball

Even with a 2-6 record, hopes are high for LSC's volleyball team.

Of the ten woman roster for LSC's volleyball, only three have played before. Of those three there are only two players returning from last year’s team. The girls are currently 2-6 in the regular season but the Lady Hornets women's volleyball head coach Sean Fisher says the important thing for the team right now is to keep their head up and stay positive.
"I think down the road we can compete but right now, because of lack of experience, we have issues," Fisher said. "I think we can gain something from every loss. We can learn something and hopefully become a better team."
Because of the girls’ lack of experience as a team many of the girls said communication was a big factor impacting their current record. But Morgan Reilly, a junior, said that she believes the chemistry will come in due time.
"We go into communication breakdown and then we’re too late to do anything about it," Reilly said. "And by the time we do start clicking, and are getting motivated, we’re too far behind and it’s too late."
Fellow teammate and Junior Michelle Petty agreed with Reilly, but also added that there has been a big change with the new freshmen on the team. Petty said that fixing chemistry is priority number one right now.
"Getting a whole lot of new freshman on the team, we really don't know what to expect this season. I think we’ll just take it game by game. And as far as the winning goes it’s a work in progress.”
Fisher says that right now he is happy with the way things are going and said he knew it would be a rough start. But Fisher says he knows by the end of the season, the girls will be able to play with most teams.
"We have a young team," Fisher said. "And if they can stay here another four years, they'll have a chance to be really good."
