Natalie Hooper may be one of the smallest, if not the smallest girl on the team. However, this junior was also the most improved server over the course of her time spent with Oregon State volleyball and was known to wield a tough jump-float serve. | Photo by Tracey Cox (Right) Guarding for Oregon State, a couple of the women work together to try to stop the ball at the front before any volleying takes place on their side. | Photo by Tracey Cox (Above) Sophomore Camilla Ah-Hoy jump serves for Oregon State volleyball.

In the fall, the men held nothing back, immediately getting first place for their first two tournaments: the OSU Giustina Memorial and the Opus NW Husky Invitational. In the following tournaments, although not ranking as high, the Beavers showed great progress compared to their 2006-2007 season. Many other impressive results included first place at the NW Winter Shootout, second place at the Oregon Duck Invitational, and third place at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic. In the spring, the team more or less maintained the same ranking they had managed in 2007. At the Pac-10 Men’s Golf Championship in Fairfax, CA, the Beavers came in eighth place.
