Question:
What do you think your team is lacking? It seems to me that you don't have an outside hitter you can go to in order to put the ball away. Is this due to injuries, or just because of recruiting?
Answer:
I do not think that our losses have anything to do with recruiting. Junior lefty Breegan Mulligan is still out from her shoulder surgery- starter 2 years, that has created an unfulfilled hole on our right side, then factor in freshman Meghan Scheenstra out with a stress fracture- looks like for the season-I had her penciled in to the OH1 spot- which has altered our line-up with Katy Daly having to move to the OH1- and figuring out who can fill the other two spots. Also freshman Lecca Roberts coming in with severe ankle problems -finally healthy enough to move into the line up full time- that allowed me to move Kristin McClune to the right. So we have a great line up now but we are 6 weeks and a few losses behind, trying to catch up. You can not plan on injuries but you have to deal with them when they happen.
