UC Favored to Win WVIAC Title
The UC volleyball team begins the 2007 season on the road this week at the Colorado Christian Invitational Tournament, Friday Aug. 24 through Saturday Aug. 25.
Same story, different year is the forecast by West Virginia Conference volleyball head coaches when they examine the race for the 2007 league championship. Charleston, Wheeling Jesuit, and West Virginia State, which combined for a 45-4 record in WVIAC action in 2006, are once again expected to be the dominant squads.
Charleston, which shared last season's regular season crown with rival West Virginia State, is the top pick. The Golden Eagles grabbed six first place votes in the voting. UC (26-8, 15-1) returns three first team All-WVIAC honorees in Rebecca LaBrake, Katy Skelley, and Roslyn Adams. UC must replace setter Sam Meyer, the 2006 WVIAC Player of the Year, but Bren Stevens' Golden Eagles return 13 players from last season's WVIAC regular season co-champions.
