“Strengths are our block and hitters. We
have a lot of height and basically a wall on
defense. The back row is fl ying around and
working their butts off,” said Strand, who is
returning to the court after sitting out her
junior year due because of a knee injury.
Junior returners include Jaylene Mon-
tano, Haley Debban, Shaylee Williams and
Sydney Hunter.
“We have a really deep bench which is
really good for us. Being able to throw peo-
ple into situations where they hit middle on
one rotation and outside on the next is re-
ally advantageous for us,” Scholl said. “Any-
one can play any position. They also like
doing it and there’s been no complaining
about what they need to do.”
Hunter said the team has all the more
motivation after their success last season, but
some of the same issues that team faced are
still being worked out.
“Communication is a struggle right now.
When things are going well, we have no is-
sues, but if we let a point go then suddenly
no one is talking,” Hunter said.
Despite that challenge, Strand said the
team keeps surprising her.
“We were up for practice at 5 a.m. this
morning and we were all kind of dreading
it, but we found a way and found energy
and momentum,” Strand said. “We’re like
sisters. We don’t fi ght and we’re together
through other things off the court.”
After a long preseason with an earlier-
than-usual start, Scholl felt the big test
would be seeing how the team comes off
the bench in the early games.
“The energy they need, they have it in
them, but they’ve only played each other so
far,” she said.
