CaKeep mOu-r S-to-ry... This year was a season about goals. The volleyball team committed to each other at the start of the season that they each wanted to achieve a personal goal, but more importantly, a team goal. Attitude and commitment were at the center of every ball bumped, set or spiked. For these athletes, it wasn't just about winning, but about the lessons learned along the way.24 Fall
