The Shawnee
State Volleyball team returns eight players and 3 starters from
last year’s 13-21 squad. Along with three freshmen who join the
team, first year coach Kristy Kamer is looking to make things
happens this year.
“We lost four
players from last season, but no on is looking at that as a down
fall,” said Coach Kamer. “We still have very good talent on
this team.”
Leading the
Bears this year are senior outside hitters Carly Cameron
(Orient, OH) and Elizabeth Eby (Eaton, OH). Other returning
upperclassmen include Adair Piguet (Sciotoville, OH), Sarah
Patee (Gahanna, OH), and Jaclynn McClellan (Seaman, OH). Piguet,
a defensive specialist, will be looked at a lot this year in
backrow. Patee and McClellan have worked hard in the off season
and should contribute to the team.
The Bears will
also look to sophomore middle hitter Becca Day (Beaver, OH) to
step up and be a key contributor this season. Day earned
Honorable Mention All-AMC last season and was named to the AMC
All-Freshmen Team. Sophomore outside hitter Samantha Emler
(Howard, OH) has improved her overall game since last season and
should get plenty of playing time. Rounding out the returnees
is sophomore middle hitter Jessica Kevelder. Kevelder, who
battled injuries last season, is getting back to her game and
should be able to contribute for the Bears.
Additions to
the Bears for the 2006 season include freshmen outside hitters
Anicca Miller (Pitsburg, OH) and Sarah Barney (Portsmouth, OH).
Freshman setter Kendra Massie will also step in this season and
contribute to the team.
Shawnee State opens their season at home versus Asbury College on
September 4. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. in the James A.
Rhodes Center.
