Also returning is libero Shilo Stewart , outside hitter Candis Jenich and Middle Blockers Lauren Mallast and Megan Marcella.

Recap of the 2006–07 season

“We had very high expectations in 2006 after winning the Region XII bid and returning a good number of starters, however our progress was delayed at the beginning of the year. While we seemed to have everything working at the State tournament, we were not able to carry that intensity through the entire weekend of the bid.”

Preview of the 2007–08 season

“There has been a lot of coaching changes among the league’s top schools, leaving the race for the MCCAA East Title wide open. We are returning a great group of kids from last year and the disappointment of our Region XII runner-up is motivating everyone to work hard to rise to the top. With the support of the administration, we hope to make another serious run at the conference title. The passion of these kids is growing and we will be a team to contend with when titles are decided this year.”
