~ Volleyball: Lady Panthers’ record misleading

By Phil Stanyer Don’t be fooled by first impressions. V '

The UPEI women’s volley- ball team is not as bad as its record indicates, according to coach Donna Sears.

Last .weekend the Panthers were beaten in six of seven games by UNB at home, but Sears is optimistic.

“We played very well,” said Sears. ‘ -

“There were some really good rallies and I was pleased with the team’s perform-

- ance,” she added.

Saturday night the Panthers won the second game-of the best-of—five 15-13 after dropping the opener 15—4. . ,

next two 15-5 and 15-3.

All week in practice the Panthers had been working hard at bettering their service reception and Sears felt the preparation paid of f .

“Our service reception was better,” declared Sears.

“But we couldn’t get the serve away from them,” she added.

The general consensus out— side of the Sears camp also seems to be that the scores Saturday night were not indicative of the play.

Because of the Panther’s inability to convert their offensive chances the results were rather lopsided.

“We played better with them serving,” chortled Sears.

Not even one of the biggest

‘crowds a women’s volleyball

game has seen at UPEI could help the Panthers.

“If we get this kind of sup— port all year, that would be terrific,” said Sears.

The ﬁrst match, Saturday night, was the first time this year the women have won a game. ,

But Sunday, the Panthers took to the floor with a com- pletely different team.

“The players felt they had reached their objective I guess,” joked Sears.

Sears also noted the in— experience of the Panthers led to their let-down.

“We’re not used to playing a match two days in a row yet,” admitted Sears.

The Panthers are loaded With newcomers which always creates problems moulding a team together.

But the Panthers’ “objec- tive” that was reached by winning a game, was against a different team than they faced two weeks ago at UNB.

“This was a much taller team,” said Sears.

“They have 20 players on their roster and they also have access to top quality competition with their local senior league, which helps them improve faster,” she added.

Sears also pointed out the need for more competition for her team in the pre- season to better prepare the team for the regular season.

Linda Dyckcrman seems to be terrorizing the net, blocking shots almost at will, while Marilyn Balderston had been banging her power hits for points at almost every opportunity.

These kinds of things make Sears smile and look to each upcoming game with a justifiable hope for victory.

“We’re going to win some matches this year,” said Sears.

The only item that really bothers Sears is committing mental errors.

“You can‘t take lapses on the floor, otherwise you'll lose in a hurry".
