The Behrend’s Women
Volleyball team has been busy
lately - making a name for itself.
The team has come up against six
competitors between Oct 9 and
Oct. 18, and within this period has
rallied up a record of 5-1.
The winning began on Oct. 9 in
a game against Westminster and
late that same day against
Waynesburg. The Behrend
women won both matches,

finishing with scores-of 2-0 and
2-1, respectively.
The wins sparked what Coach
Jan Wilson calls a turning point in
the season. Behrend had lost
earlier to Waynesburg, but now
had turned around and handed
Waynesburg their second loss of
the season. Both Waynesburg
and Westminster are district 18
teams, so Behrend will probably
meet both teams again. This, of
course, makes the wins impor
tant.

away wins from a weak Villanova
team, and another district .18
competitor, Seton Hill. Behrend
scored impressively and won by
final scores of 2-0 against both
teams.
The Behrend women later met
Thiel in a disappointing but ex
citing match. Coach Wilson felt
her players, “were well prepared
and played very well.” Wilson
said, “It was a tough match that
could have gone either way.”
Behrend fell to Thiel 2-3.
On Oct. 18, Behrend met the
Mercyhurst team. Behrend, accor
ding to Wilson, “really blew out
Mercyhurst.” Behrend took three
very lop-sided matches and shut
out Mercyhurst, 3-0. Mercyhurst
is an NCAA team which comes
up against very strong competi

second win over Mercyhurst, as
well as its first conference win in

Coach Wilson has been
delighted with her team’s work
and performance. “They really
work good together as a team.
Everyone understands the role
they play, and are willing to com

We do have many outstanding
players, but more importantly, is
that they’re working together -
and working well together.”
