GO FALCONS!

Last year the Falcons were the North-East 10 tournament champions. Since last year,the team has lost no one and gained 7 strong players. Thus far, we are undefeated with a record of 4-0 in the NE-10 Conference. The teamis also very well-rounded with strong players inevery position. This year we are only losing two seniors, who are both middle blockers, however we have strong underclassmen who will be taking

over their spots next year. Our toughest competition this year is going to be Bryant University, who we play October 17th.

GO FALCONS!

The girls on the team are very close. We have fun on and off of the court. So far this season we have done several fun and entertaining activities. First we went paintballing in New Hampshire as a “team bonding activity” at the beginning of preseason . We have also done a team hike in the white mountains. On the weekends we take trips into Boston and Harvard Square for sushi and shopping.

GO FALCONS

! Each girl on our team has a specific role they must play. Each player must also be ready to fill in someone’s role if they are injured, which unfortunately, happens quite often. Since the start of the season we have had countless injuries. From

a torn meniscus, to tendinitis of the shoulder and knee, rotated disks in two players backs, as well as countless other

injuries that have happened. But with all injuries aside, I am pretty certain this year is going to be one for the records.
