2010 Northwestern Volleyball Schedule
EVANSTON, Ill. -- With the beginning of the 2010 volleyball season less than three weeks away, head coach Keylor Chan and the Wildcats have returned to Welsh-Ryan Arena, hitting the court in preparaton for the 2010 season. The Wildcats began their summer practice schedule on Tuesday, Aug. 10, which will run up until the season opener against Loyola (Chicago) on Friday, Aug. 27.
Northwestern looks to build on the momentum gained during the 2009 season when the Wildcats posted a 16-16 overall mark (an eight-match improvement from the previous year) and finished in sole possession of sixth-place in the Big Ten, one of the nation's toughest volleyball conferences.
Chan returns five starters and 10 letterwinners from the 2009 campaign, including AVCA honorable mention All-American and All-Big Ten middle blocker Sabel Moffett (Temecula, Calif./Chapparal). Fellow seniors Naomi Johnson (Bloomington, Minn./Kennedy), Elyse Glab (Chicago, Ill./Resurrection) and Brittani Gray (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore) give the Wildcats one of their most veteran teams during Chan's tenure.
