FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Army West Point volleyball team earned its first win of the season with a 3-1 decision over McNeese State with set scores of 25-19, 19-25, 25-14 and 25-23. Setter Vanessa Edwards earned a double-double to fuel two Black Knights to career-high performances. Carolyn Bockrath was named to the Arkansas Invitational All-Tournament Team due to her performance throughout the weekend.
"We had a great team win today," said head coach Alma Kovaci. "Our middles were unbelievable during this match, which is a result of our passing and setting. McNeese was a powerful defensive team, but today's win is a sentiment to our hard preseason training and tough practices. It was nice to see the players that were on the bench come in and change the game, which is what we are all about. We made some changes and the entire team was mentally prepared and that improved our performance. This team is committed to playing for each other and we saw improvements as the weekend went on, which was our goal." Read More
