WBC Lady Eagles Volleyball aims to continue success

From Williams Baptist College

The Williams Baptist College volleyball squad has won 71 games in the last three seasons, including the best record (27-9) in school history in 2011.  The players will go through three weeks of preseason practices and meetings. 

Williams has won at least 20 games in five of the last six seasons. Head Coach Eric Newell said the keys to continued success are "hard work, proper mind set (team first attitude), and staying healthy."
