EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — With 12 returners on the roster, the University of Southern Indiana women's volleyball team has been able to speed up the learning curve during offseason workouts.
Last year, the Screaming Eagles went into the season with eight new players, but this year it's just three new faces on the roster.
USI was just two sets away from playing for the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship last season, so the continuity should help the team once again battle for a top spot in the conference.
"We can already tell like this preseason we've all been gelling really well and it's kind of like we weren't even apart for very long," said outside hitter, Ashby Willis. "It's been really great coming back and having some good team chemistry again that we worked on in the spring."
Even though there will be some players stepping into new roles the big returning group already has the team ahead of schedule this year utilizing the spring period.
