Moore’s comments: “I like this group because they get along on and off the court; we haven’t had that in the past and that’s essential in making a good team. I believe we are looking at a really strong season. We have a strong group of seniors and we have some experienced juniors. Even though we graduated seven seniors, I think we will be a better because of our overall experience, particularly from club volleyball. This is one of our strongest teams, and if we stay healthy we will give a lot of teams a run for their money.”
