Highlighted by defeats over volleyball powerhouse Ohio- Northern University and conference rival Bluff- ton (in a come-from-behind battle!), rhe season ended well with several high places in tourna- ment ploy and qualification for NAIA districts. The ream also developed a strong sense of trust and cooperation, beginning at the annual retreat to Scioto Hills. The women experienced few dull moments throughout the season,and managed to keep busy with "freez turtle tog" for worm-ups and singing favorite songs in their "free- time. Overall, rhe season ended with a promising look to next year's squad. Only losing two members to graduation and gaining several powerful hitters, rhe future looks bright for next season. Julie Durler
