Friendship Blossoms for Sophomore Volleyball Players

When it comes to sports, friendships are important. None is more inseparable than that of Emily and Lexie.

"We've only known each other for two years," Emily said. "Those two years have been the best two years so far," Lexie added. A common bond turned them into friends.

"We have both been playing since high school," they said.

"Besides athletics, the small campus size and academics made me want to come here," Emily said.

"It was disappointing when the winning streak ended," they told me. "We knew we were not going to let it get to us."

"Knowing the team is known for winning at least 20 games each season is definitely motivation," they said.

"The preseason tournaments definitely showed us what needed improvement," they said.

When asked if they could win the regular season and host the conference tournament, both said it was definitely possible. "We need to think big and think about winning the tournament," they said.

Whether either happens is yet to be seen.

At this rate, it certainly is a possibility the team could get a berth in the NCAA tournament.
