sMsffo Teams practice and show mutual support. Dedicated coaches round-out the team. Tension mounted as volley- ball player, Wendi Moskwa, served the ball. This would de- cide the final outcome of the game. Notre Dame returned the ball v» ith a smashing spike as Jamie North dug the ball with a perfect pass to the setter, Ju- lie Pilliter, and another awe- some play was made. In this game, each varsity player playe d to her highest potential. Varsity and JV teams had two things in common: they en- joyed working with each other and both were driven to com- pete. Cooperation and team- work were the keys to success. Encouragement and inspiration was shown throughout the sea- son. I think this year ' s varsity team did fairly well. We had a lot of team spirit and everyone had a good time, said Julie Aochi, senior. Long hours of practice and pre-season games helped to prepare for the competitive season that lay ahead. Varsity Coach Bob Bushman and JV Coach Kathy Hedlund put forth many hours of dedicated moral support to each individual team member. Mr. Bushman was the best man to have for a coach. He was patient and un- derstanding; the raddist coach in the world, exclaimed Jamie North, senior. Whether on or off the court, each player was e ncouraged to notice different strong and weak points of their fellow play- ers. Team meetings were often held to discuss each others feelings on how the team played, mistakes that were made, and tips on playing a more competitive game. I thought team meeting were ex- tremely important, because it was one time we were all to- gether to openly tell our own opinions, said Jennifer Cro- teau, senior. Sitting on the bench also meant being prepared. If an- other teammate was injured or pulled out of the game, one of the players needed to be ready to take her place. Team spirit depended on the sideplayers. Cheering and paying attention to the game encouraged team members and created a bond, which in spirit put the whole team on the court. Team spirit was a major factor in the team ' s performance this year, said Lisa Bye rs, junior. The team members ' attitudes towards their season varied. Some thought it was a good season; others thought it wasn ' t, but the team was better than before. Still others thought that the team did not fulfill it ' s potential. To be a team is when every member has a desire to play to the best of their ability and share the same goal, said Julie Pilliter, senior. by Yvette Perez ■ IN SERVE-RECEIVE POSITION, Janeen Colmer makes a complete pass off a tough server.
