Lock Haven Volleyball Prepares for Weekend at Millersville and Shippensburg

This past weekend Lock Haven volleyball accomplished something that has not been done in the program for 4 years. We stepped onto the court to face off against California University and beat them. The feeling of beating a team that we have not yet defeated was unexplainable. We went away from what was arguably the most important weekend of our season with a record of 3 and 1, defeating the reigning PSAC champions. That being said we have a big weekend coming up starting on Friday night against Millersville University and continuing right into the next day facing Shippensburg University.

I believe what we were able to accomplish this past weekend will have an impact on what we are capable of doing this weekend. We are coming out of the weekend with a lot of confidence and "swag" as some teammates like to refer to it as. This weekend is important to us because it is PSAC East competition. Shippensburg is currently second in the conference, so we must be prepared to compete when we step in the gym. Millersville University is also a team that can not be overlooked.

We have been working hard all week in practice, competing against each other trying to make everyone better. We have also been in the weight room preparing for our competition. We are working on some different things that will help us have an edge over the teams we are facing. Watching film has given us an idea of what these teams are capable of doing and we are well prepared for what is going to be coming at us. If our team continues to play with the confidence we had this past weekend, we will have no trouble defeating anyone we compete against.
