Dartmouth Volleyball is back for spring season, and we're so happy to be reunited. After spending the winter mostly apart, we've been so excited to jump back into training together. The team has been conditioning in the morning, lifting and practicing in the afternoon, and working hard doing it. We all like to challenge each other in the weightroom and sprints. Alissa (Santa Maria '13) and I have an ongoing competition- I think she's one victory ahead of me right now, but not for long!
It's definitely been an adjustment to get back into the swing of classes and homework after being in New York, but it feels good to start practicing together again. We have been working on our new and improved quick offense, and despite a little rust at the beginning, we are getting the hang of it! We had our first Spring tournament this weekend where we played 6 sets against UNH and Hartford. We ended up 4-2, and got some great practice playing together.
There are only 8 of us on campus right now, so instead of the "Big Green" we've been jokingly calling ourselves the "Little Green". Spring is always an awesome time for our team to bond- there are fewer of us, and we haven't seen each other in forever. We spend a ton of time together both training and off the court as well with lots of impromptu team lunches, dinners, and homework sessions. We're all starting to get so excited for season this fall, and can't wait for our new 15's to join us! GO LITTLE GREEN
