Optimism high
for Lady Lions
by Joe Motillo
Colkgian Staff
Although the Lady Lions'
volleyball team is only 3 -7,
Coach Jan Wilson is still
optimistic. She said, "our
serving is more consistent than
last season."
Wilson has been playing her
five returning players from last
season. None of which are
seniors.
Co-captains Carrie Grezjka and
Amy Stranahan start at middle
hitter and weakside hitter,
respectively, and provide the
most experience as both started
last season.
Jonelle Curtis and Julie
Stocker are the strongside hitters
and according to Wilson,
"Stocker's been hitting real well."
The fifth returnee is Jen
Spencer, who is the team's
defensive specialist. All other
players are new.
Sophomore Shannon Lucci,
freshmen Molly Samuels and Jen
Taylor all have been starting this
season for the Lions.
The three other freshmen are
Kim Snyder, Jennifer Leone, and
Deanna Ciminnisi. Snyder and
Leone are having a difficulty time
getting playing time because
they're playing behind Stocker
and Stranahan.
"Hitting and Blocking are our
strengths," said Wilson.
The team opened play this

4. The Lions took on Potsdam
in their rust match. The young
Lions hung tough but fell 16-14
and 17-15.
Binghamton was the Lions'
next opponent. Behrend hung
tough, but fell 16-14, 8-15, and
13-15.
Alfred University was the
unfortunate victim as Behrend
came out fired up. Behrend won
12-15, 15-11, and 15-6.
Behrend then ran into an
ungracious host as Cortland
thrashed the Lions 15-9 and 15-5.
The Lions' next opponent was
Buffalo State. The Lions made
the trip up to Buffalo, but were
sent packing as they fell 15-11,
15-1, and 15-7.
The Lions next tournement
was this past weekend in Oberlin.
The Lions lost to St. Mary's 15-
4 and 15-9, but regrouped
quickly.
They defeated Ohio Dominion
15-13 and 15-11 and Bethany 15-
11 and 15-7. The Lions failed to
defeat Bethany at all last season.
The Lions fought Oberlin next.
The Lions dropped the first 15-9,
but came back in the second to
win 15-10. Oberlin was too
much as they prevailed 15-11 in
the third game.
St. Mary's played the Lions
next and the result was similar;
two games, two losses. The
score 15-5,15-12.
"We need to work on basic
skills so we don't have as many
ball handling areas," said Wilson.
