CofC volleyball team plays for their 3rd straight SoCon Tournament Title


The CofC volleyball team will play for their 3rd straight SoCon Tournament Title this weekend @ App. State (Boone, N.C.). The Cougs are 23-7, 17-1 in the SoCon and are the #1-seed for this weekend's tournament; they will play the Ga. Southern v Western Carolina winner on the 17th @ 12:30 pm.

Make no doubt about it, the Cougars are formidable. Although the Bushido didn't get an autographed poster this year, I've been pulling for them all year. The Cougs beat UNC-Chapel Hill (3-1) in September and they won a big game in their season opener against San Diego State. Highlight: Senior Libero Marie Dobrenz was named SoCon Player of the Week for a second time this week.

The Cougars have one lost in the SoCon (Elon) and their other out of conference losses came from big programs: Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Cal-State Fullerton, Coastal Carolina, Iowa and Wichita State (Shockers).
