Two wins By Rob Rejmaniak Recently, the Capitol sports fan witnessed a steady improvement in the way the teams here have fared in their respective leagues. For the girls volleyball team, the 1983 fall season was no different. The team enjoyed its finest season ever. Although the team's final record stood at only two wins and seven losses, this record was a marked improvement from years past. In fact, until this season, the team had never won a match. This season's schedule had more games than any of the previous seasons. Head Coach Yvonne Harhigh sees this as something positive. "Two years ago our season consisted of one match," she said, "so the schedule alone shows how far we've come." This year's team consisted of eight girls, seven of whom are juniors and will be returning next year. Harhigh stressed the impor tance of having more girls on the squad for next season. "I'm hoping that because we tsee.s (k. .-Z v e, r e/17"6z tege kt deg.,°,bli.sael/,eba a/ez Ralph E.

When you only have eight players, you have to depend on everyone," she said. Reflecting on the season, Harhigh doesn't single out any one player as being outstanding. "At the risk of sounding corny, I'd say they were all outstan ding," she said. "Some players had better skills, but those who never competed on a collegiate level before played well and improved .a lot." ~ ~ V.C.S.
