2014 The Meadows Girls Volleyball Capsule

Head coach: Stephanie Heller, 11th season

2013 record: 19-18 (12-2 Division III Southern, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Seven (four)

Top athletes: OH Brooke Brennan (Sr.), MB Dani Otter (Sr.), LIB/DS Elyse Burns (Jr.)

Outlook: The Mustangs return four starters from a team that finished second in the Southern League last year.

Brennan (3.2 kills per set, 3.5 digs per set) and Otter (2.5 kps) both were first-team all-league picks last year.

“We’re bringing newcomers to setter positions after graduating both setters,” Heller said. “We’re focusing on a balanced offense and a strong passing and serving game. Once the setter positions are locked in, we could be a strong offensive team.

“Leadership is strong from within the senior class. We hope to contend in the top three in the league.”
