Volleyball team starts their preseason practices

Murray State volleyball has officially started its 2014 season with practices at Racer Arena. The Racers are practicing three times a day to get ready for the upcoming season. Each practice is two hours in length, and consists of warm ups, exercises that focus on important parts of the game, and scrimmages.

"They're working hard", said head coach David Schwepker. "We have 10 returners who have all matured. I'm thinking positively about the season."

The team boasts 10 returners and five newcomers for the 2014 season. Under Schwepker, the team hopes to continue their growth and success.

The goal of their preseason practices are to prepare for their first match of the season on Aug. 29, which is part of the ISTAP Collegiate Cup in Montgomery, Alabama. The Racers will travel to four weekend tournaments before playing their first home match on Sept. 26.
