After posting just 11 victories the year before the Clarke College women’s volleyball team finished with 25 wins last season, the third highest total in the program’s history. Fourth year coach Cris Miron hopes the Crusaders can build of that.

Miron says things seem to have turned the corner and are more confident, but also seem to have more pressure to back up what they did last year. Miron believes the team has what it takes to maintain a level of success, as they return several starters.

The Crusader will look to improve upon last year’s fourth place finish in the Midwest Collegiate Conference but Miron says it will not be easy in a balanced league race. The Crusaders open the season this weekend at a tournament hosted by St. Norbert College.
