The team is now 1-2 after playing in the James Madison tournament. There are signs they are improving, and the best news is that Mandy Sifferlen made the all-tournament team. HC will host the Crusader Classic this coming weekend. That will be a good indicator of just how much they have improved from last year. Opponents will be: Brown - Friday UMass-Lowell - Saturday Fairfield - Saturday
Go CROSS Go!

Where are they scheduled to play these games? They don't play in the main gym right? If I remember correctly, they began playing in the main gym last year after playing in the Field house before that. With the Hart under construction, I'd assume they'd go back to the Field house.

Four underclassmen from last year's roster are not on the roster this year. Not sure what to make of that.
Only two seniors on the roster -- Sifferlen and Popp.
Although Sifferlen is the stat leader, she is followed by sophs Petersen and Somerville.
There is reason to hope that there will be further improvement.
Volleyball also got a recent commitment from Oregon:

will need a few more quality recruits going forward. sifferlen is clearly our best player, so she'll have to be replaced next year. hope there is some improvement this season as this program has been in the dumps for a long time. look up the 'archives' link on the volleyball page. have to pull for these young ladies who are overmatched most nights. our coach needs some time as she is only in her 2nd year.

I was following on Live Stats and it seemed HC was behind most of the match but kept coming back and then had a strong 5th set to get the win! Congrats to the ladies!

HC lost to UMass Lowell 3-0.
Looking at UMass Lowell's roster, one player each from MA, NH, NY. The rest basically West Coast, Midwest, and FL.

Hofstra has 11 foreigners on their roster and their closest player is from Georgia and next closest US player is from Oregon! gohofstra.com/roster.aspx?path=vball

At 2-4 the team shows improvement over the last few years. They can hold their own at times, but there is still a long way to go. The highlight so far was the win over Brown.

Two from MA on the roster. Only 13 on the HC roster. Fr. K. might like AU's roster, three from Poland.
