Volleyball Team Sets High Goals

By Logan Gajewski

The Newman Catholic girl’s volleyball team is off to another great season this year.  The team, led by Coach Betty Lange, has begun the new season with four solid wins.  They are also coming off a great previous year. The girl’s team made it all the way to the state championship game, only to fall just short, so the team has a lot to prove still this year.

The Team lost only three starting seniors from last year, meaning that most current varsity players on the team have had varsity experience from the previous year.  “All the girls have really stepped up to fill the positions that are key to our success,” says senior Andrea Michalski.  She also spoke about the great work ethic shown by each player in the off season to prepare, as well as to get better as the season progresses. 

The obvious goal for the team now is to win in the state championship game.  The team still realizes however, that there is still much more work to be done to even have the opportunity to compete for the title.  Considering their success this year so far, it looks as though they have a very good chance.  It will be interesting to see if the team will be able to take that next step and reach their ultimate goal of a state championship.
