2025 Outlook: The 2025 Green Wave Volleyball Team is still relatively young with only 3 seniors on the team. Despite its youth, the team is working extremely hard to build chemistry and confidence and is looking forward to continuing the tradition of the program’s success.
The team will be led by a strong upperclassmen group who have shown true leadership in guiding and supporting the younger players on the squad. Serving can be a strong point for the team and depth with versatility will be an advantage for the Green Wave.
Finding consistency and confidence, especially with generating offense and out of system play, will be the key to the outcome of the team’s success.
