A SEASO OF PROMISE WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL The women's volleyball team had seven returning players from its 38-16, ECAAC Championship squad of 1984. The spikers were looking to better that performance, relying on powerful blocking and effective passing. Six-year Head Coach Elaine Sortino had faith in the team's serving bility. We will be a strong serving team this year, Sortino projected, and as the season progresses we should grow to be an even better blocking team. The spikers opened strongly, losing only two of their first twelve matches. However, injuries to key players hurt the team later in the season. In the MAIAW State Tournament, the spikers dropped a close match to Eastern Nazarene. In addition, Senior co-captain Patti Grant sustained an an- kle injury in the effort. Junior co-cap- tain Sally Maher was also nagged by ankle and knee problems. The team's season ended on a some- what sour note. The spikers took fourth place in the ECAC Championships, los- ing to both the Army squad and East Strousberg. Despite this, the Minutewomen proved to be hard working competitors in all their matches. The team's show of consistent and intense play bodes well for the future of volleyball at UMass. - Martha Brennan Front Row:'Co-captains Patricia Grant and Sally Maher.
