LANCASTER – Lancaster senior volleyball player Zoe DeLeon and her senior teammates had somewhat of a rude awakening when Leslie Davenport was named the new head coach.
Davenport has brought a different mentality, as far as making players work harder, holding them more accountable, and most importantly, not accepting losing.
Not that the program was downtrodden by any means, but it needed a jolt, and that is exactly what Davenport has brought to the program.
"Coach has brought a competitiveness, and she gives it to us straight," DeLeon said. "She holds us accountable. She has us working harder in practice, and it has transferred over to the game. There was a difference at the beginning when she took over, and it took time to get used to, but once we saw the outcome, it makes us want to work even harder."

South Africa's dominance in the men's 400 meters came to an end Aug. 7, and it should be no surprise who ended it.
American Jayden DeLeon soared past South Africa's Leedert Koekemoer down the homestretch and held off a late charge by teen prodigy Quincy Wilson to win gold on day three of the World Athletics U20 Championships at Hayward Field.
DeLeon, who also defeated Wilson at the USATF U20 Championships at Hayward Field in June, ran a World U20 Championships meet record of 44.47 seconds to win the gold medal.

Madison Beer and Justin Herbert are engaged after nearly a year together.
The singer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback announced the news in a joint Instagram post on July 28, sharing photographs and videos from an elaborate outdoor proposal surrounded by flowers.
"Meet my fiancé," Beer captioned the carousel, which also provided the first close look at her large diamond engagement ring.
One photograph showed Herbert on one knee beneath an arbor decorated with greenery and white flowers. Beer crouched in front of him as he held an open ring box, capturing the moment before she accepted his proposal.
The photographs, taken by Mark Deleon, showed Beer wearing a white cardigan and coordinating lace skirt by With Jéan. Herbert wore a white long-sleeved shirt with black trousers. They have not announced a wedding date, venue or other ceremony plans.

Mexico have been forced to return luxury watches gifted to them by content creator Stevewilldoit.
The American YouTuber, whose real name is Stephen Deleonardis, says he spent $1m (£747,000) on Rolex watches for every Mexico player and member of staff.
The World Cup co-hosts play England at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium on Sunday evening local time (01:00 BST, Monday).
Deleonardis presented them to the squad when he met them on Monday, the day before the World Cup co-hosts beat Ecuador in the last 32.
However, Fifa's Code of Ethics has restrictions on offering and accepting gifts, with article 21 stating that such gifts can only be offered or accepted if they "have symbolic or trivial value".
