Alcalá 1990

he 1989 USD volleyball team came to a disappointing end with a record of 2- 26. The teams record shows many losses, but does not reflect team improve– ment. The Toreras may have lost many, but none of the games were blowouts. Some of this years competition includes SDSU, UC!, Mississippi, and Missouri. This years team returned six players from 1988. Cindy Sildorf, the only senior on this years team led the Toreras with twenty seven aces, and was the second highest in kills with 171. Cindy feels "We are so young and Inexpe– rienced. We lost five seniors from last year . . . There is, however, some good young ta!- +."

Other returning players include Angie Rais, who had the most amount of kills (243), Su– zanne LeSatz, Kathleen Hayes, Kelly Logsdon, and Vanessa Rothe. The five freshman who joined the squad bring with them a lot of talent. Kristi Harris, an all league selection In high school, and Shannon Mutch did the setting for the 1989 Toreras. Heather Dalley, an all-ClF (4A) se– lection in high school, Maria Rickard, a sec– ond team All-Selection CIF(6A), and Andrea Burns will take position as hitters on this years team. Their outlook and summary of the season is "We all got along really well, and learned from each others background. We definitely have potential."

Head Coach John Martin was "disappointed be cause we didn't win more, but I'm pleased with the improvement of the individuals and team play
