“Mel has, with putting her heart and soul into the sport, developed into a very good player over the last two years,” Crum said. Pries is coming off a season during which she recorded 74 kills, 28 blocks, 18 digs and 10 aces while Ruhland played in only 11 sets before an injury cut her season short. The roster has two seniors – middle hitter Mel Pries and right-side hitter Taryn Ruhland. We will see how it goes, but I’m excited to see what this group can do.” “I feel we are at a pretty good point, not only for starting this season, but as a program in general. There will be some unknowns at the start of the season with lineups changing and shuffling with different players getting back on the floor, but I’m also confident we will work through it. “We’ve had three star players miss much of last season, which was tough, and I don’t think we were able to really show the team we could have been. “I’m expecting really good things from this group, especially when we get everyone that is coming off injuries back to 100%,” Crum said. That was certainly the case for the Ottawa girls volleyball team last season, with multiple injuries and illnesses taking their toll en route to a 9-24-1 overall record and 3-11 mark in Interstate 8 Conference play.Īlthough a couple of players still are waiting to be cleared to return to practice or are working to get back to form, sixth-year coach Jenn Crum is expecting good things from her club while also keeping her fingers crossed for a healthy 2022 campaign. But when one or more parts, especially those in key roles, miss significant time or aren’t able to perform at 100%, it will be tough for that team to have truly shown what it could have done. It is sometimes said a team is only as good as the sum of its parts.
