Jodi Jorgensen sets up the ball for teammate Nancy Burge. Coach Roger Stender's volleyball squad compiled an 8-6 win-loss record with the help of all-conference senior setter Teri Young and all-conference spiker Nancy Burge. The team as a whole didn't fare quite so well in Twin Rivers play as they were eliminated in first round play by Syracuse. The young girls squad again ran into trouble with the Rockettes as they were put out in the first round in the Syracuse invitational. The Bears were able to fight their way through the first round at districts only to be beaten decisively by area power Omaha Mercy. Coach Stender named Merri Clements as the team's most improved player, while naming Teri Young as the team's most valuable player Roxie Ruzicka, in deep concentration, returns the ball as a teammate is ready to help. Coach Roger Stender gives advice as Lori Vogt and Carol Gentry listen. 13
