2015 Bonanza Girls Volleyball Capsule

BONANZA

League: Division I Northwest

Head coach: Dan Savage, fourth season

2014 record: 25-13 (6-2 Northwest, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Six (five)

Top athletes: S Hayley Huntsman (Sr.), MH/OH Jaycie Johnson (Sr.), MH/OH Taryn Warner (Jr.), OPP Sofia Pesci (Jr.)

Outlook: The Bengals return five starters from a successful squad last season, but must make up for the loss of Sophie Cram, who will play at Brigham Young University this year.

Huntsman racked up 774 assists, 283 digs, 166 kills and 89 aces last year, and is joined by Johnson (147 kills), Warner (106 kills, 40 blocks) and Pesci (111 killls, 133 digs, 24 aces).

"Behind the leadership of four-year starter Hayley Huntsman, the team looks to take advantage of its versatility," Savage said. "The graduation of Sophie Cram has created some opportunities for players to step up this season.

"Hard work and defense will be the keys to victory for this year's Bonanza squad."
