Women's Volleyball Served Tough Loss

On Wednesday night, the Lady Hornets (0-4) took a hard loss in four sets to New Hampshire Technical Institute.
The Hornets took the first set 25-22, but was soon overcome by the stingy offense of NHTI, and lost the last three sets, 25-14, 25-19 and 25-12 respectively. Maegan Fried led the Hornets with eight kills, and Sophomore Morgan Diltz had thirteen digs and six assists.
Coach Sean Fisher has said the season has started rough, but he believes that team will only get better with time.
"So far its going okay, its not great, we had our first tournament and went 0-4 against three very good teams, so losing to them doesn't bother me," he said "Just the level we played at bothered me."
Although the team has gotten off to a lackluster start, Fisher sees promise.
"I do believe this is the best team we've had yet at Lyndon State." Fisher said, "We have a lot more depth, with five or six ladies around the same ability levels. If one of two are having an off night, I can throw one of the others in and not have to worry."
However, there still is work to be done.
"The big things we have to work on are ball control and serve and receive" said Fisher, "When the other team was serving to us, if they have a good serve, we have to have a good return and be in place."
Veteran junior Erica Ponte was critical of the teams' performance
"Better than past seasons, but still not that great." Ponte said.
However, she is still very optimistic about the future with all of the new members
"Once we get the hang of playing with each other, we'll improve by a lot" Ponte added.
The Lady Hornets next match is away at Johnson State on Sunday, September 18 at 1 p.m. Their next home match is against Norwich on Thursday, September 22 at 7 p.m.
