2012 Valley Girls Volleyball Capsule

Head coach: Nick Porter, sixth season

2011 record: 10-7 (10-4 Northeast)

Returning letter winners (starters): Three (One)

Top players: Diva Carter (Sr.), Gabby Cabanero, Ma’kayla Hicks.

Outlook: The Vikings lost five senior starters from a team that tied for second in the Northeast League last season.

“We have a young, ambitious team, looking to stay competitive in an increasingly difficult division,” Porter said. “With newly-acquired, 6-foot-2-inch middle blocker Hicks, a 6-2 setting offense, and Diva Carter’s attitude and experience, I feel that we can look forward to another winning season.”
