August 19, 2006 ALUMNI GIVE VOLLEYBALL TEAM FIRST TEST OF 2006 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State volleyball head coach Julie Krofcheck got her first look at the 2006 team in competitive action when the team faced an alumni team of former players on Saturday afternoon. Freshmen Kelli Whitaker and Jodi Stoker led the Sycamores in kills with 6 a piece, while Kristy Cox led the team with 13 digs. “We are still in a gray area when it comes to starters,” Krofcheck said after the match. “We had the opportunity of playing everyone and got a good look at what the team can do in competitive situations.” Krofcheck particularly noted the play in the second game with the current team rolling to a score of 30-17 over the alums. Joining the alumni team was Sarah Smith and Tessa Wolf (’02-’05), Kelly Spisak (’01-’04), Lindsay Kennedy (’01-’02), Kylee Osborne (’00-’03) and Julie Meshberger (Kubiak) (’92-’95). “It was great to see the alumni come back and interact with current members of the team,” Krofcheck said. “I hope to have more alumni make their way back and make this alumni game that much bigger and better.” The Sycamores will be back in action next Wednesday in the annual
Blue/White scrimmage. The players will take to the ISU arena with
play beginning at 6:00 p.m.
