2010 Volleyball Preview

After finishing 17-12 and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nine years, the Setters expectations should be even higher in 2010.

THE TIME IS NOW

Setters eyeing NE-10 Championship and postseason victories after going one-and-done in both the conference and NCAA tournaments

PLEASANTVILLE, NY– It was August 30 of last year and the Setters had just began the season 0-2, including a 3-1 loss to a very good Dowling squad in their first match of the year.

Despite opening the year winless at the Dowling College Tournament, then sophomore Shea Hansen remained optimistic.

“We knew that Dowling was very good, and we did pretty well against them,” Hansen said in a Setters Spotlight last year. “We still didn’t win, but when we play them again we will know what we need to work on.”

PLEASANTVILLE, NY— “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” And for the Pace women’s volleyball team of 2008, that sentiment could not be any truer.

Sitting at 10-3 on October 3, and 3-0 in the Northeast 10 Conference, the Setters were sitting pretty, and had their eyes set on a special season. They had coasted through the first month of the season and were set to make a run at the Northeast 10 title.
