The Rams would like to hit the ground running in 2015 as the 6-time defending Mountain West champs make their push for seven in a row.
“We’re one of the best that we’ve ever been in the areas of ball handling, serve-receive and defense,” Hilbert said. “We’ve got experience in those positions, we’ve got great players in those positions.”
What they do not have, is the 2014 MW Player of the Year Deedra Foss, two other All-MW selections in Marlee Reynolds and Kelsey Snider, and last year’s leader in service aces, Kaitlind Bestgen.
The departures of the three seniors along with Bestgen deciding to forego her senior year leaves a void in the hitting and setting departments.
