Volleyball Team to Hold Fundraiser by Paula Maus Collegian Staff Writer The Women’s Varsity Volleyball Team and the Men’s Club Volleyball Team will keep up the momentum for five hours in this years “Volleyball-a-thon”. Players will spike, lunge, serve, bump and set from 10 p.in. until 3 a.m. on Feb. 21. Jan Wilson, women’s volleyball coach set the monetary goal for the volleyball-a-thon at $1,500. She plans to put the funds toward a new volleyball net system. “Our present net system is five to, six years old and it actually fell down February 15,1985 during one of our competitive matches,” Wilson said. “We feel that it’s time to take care of this problem,” she added. Players involved have sponsor sheets on which anyone can make a pledge by the hour or simply pledge a total amount. “So far, the students’ response has been great. We already have $4OO from sponsors,” Wilson said. “Any pledge at all would be beneficial and we appreciate the sponsors help in attaining our goal,” added Wilson. Students are welcome to view the match and support the players.
