etler Setters Calmly waiting for the next serve, Tri- cia Angiada uses mental imagery to en- sure a victory. It wasn’t a trivial pursuit for the Lady Mustang varsity volleyball team. Instead, the players kept it as a “relent- less pursuit” where “everything is up!”, their team motto. Although a young team with only four returning players, they made up for their inexperience by working hard and maintaining discipline and self-mo- tivation. The fruits of their labor were re- turned in their second match against a dominating Tempe who they had lost to earlier. According to senior Tricia Angiada. their success was due largely in part to the fact that “We all get along really well and this helps us work together as a family.” While working together as a unit was a team goal so was placing first or second in the regional tournament to qualify for state, a feat not easily ac- complished in a league where every game was close. The losses incurred, however, were taken in stride as the young, closely- knit team strove towards becoming not only better players, but better setters. Design by Gretchen Askew.
