The UB Volleyball team takes the court again on Saturday, August 20 (2pm at Alumni Arena, free) in an exhibition match against Colgate. The Bulls hope to build on a 6–12 MAC record last year, which was perhaps a weaker record than it would have been if two players expected to contribute heavily — senior Monika Šimková and junior Abby Leigh — hadn’t missed all or most of the season due to illness or injury.
There were a number of bright spots for the Bulls last year. Freshman setter Mandy Leigh (Abby’s sister) was the only setter the Bulls used, she averaged a hair under 10 assists per set and the Bulls finished 5th in the MAC in hitting percentage.
