With every practice and performance, the women tried to improve their skills in the sport, they spent as much time together outside of practice as they did on the court. In order to gain recognition from the vol- leyball communitv, members also partici- pated in more tournaments and a num- ber of fundraising events. ■ - President: Jennifer Nichols Vice President: Kathy Munoz Secretary: Britten Budzinsky Treasurer: Stephanie McCarty Front Row: Geoff Lay.

Since its establishment in 1993, the Women ' s Soccer Club had much suc- cess. The women were ranked first in the Eastern Region for the past three years and first in Virginia in 1998. They also won the Clemson Tournament two years in a row. In addition, club members participated in more fundraisers than any other club sport in an effort to attend the national championships. Their hard work paid off when they finished in the final four at the national champi- onships the past two years. ■ - President: Jennifer Chalfin Vice President: Erin Gilman Secretary: Ashley Queen Treasurer: Jenny Maskell Fundraising: Susie Morahan Captains: Tinsley Jones and Erin Gilman Organizations » Women ' s Soccer Club

koH i th trophy Women ' s Volleyball Club members smile proudly as they display their second-place trophy won at the Appalachian State Tournament. After the season ended, the three-year-old club looked forward to future competitions. A A Excited to get the tournament rolling, sophomore Mindy Gerber, freshman Andrea Salzer and junior Erika Ventura are suited up and ready to play. The team had a successful season, the result of a year of faithful practice. The Women ' s Water Polo Club split from a coeducational team in 1997, making this season only their third year playing and com- peting with only women. The men ' s and women ' s teams remained close, however, as they practiced together once a week. The women worked to be competitive while maintaining a spirited atmosphere. Mem- bers remembered many teams who said they were jealous of JMU ' s club and their obvious enthusiasm at tournaments. The team competed in three collegiate water polo tournaments and four invitationals. Since the women wanted to involve the community as well, they participated in car washes, swim-a-thons and raffles. ■ » President: Adriane Stites Vice President: Andrea Salzer Treasurer: Kelly Hiza Secretary: Leigh Michel Fundraising: Lesley Kipling SCC Representative: Laura Hunt i ' s Water Po suited for victory Organizations ■ Women ' s Water Polo Club
