Coming off a 2017 campaign that saw the North Carolina volleyball team snap its record streak of seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, Joe Sagula recalls going to dinner with a few returning veterans in the spring of 2018.

Sagula said he wanted to meet with them and hear what changes that they thought needed to be made. They also talked about the program's culture and how that could be maintained.

Some of the players in attendance had been team leaders before. Others, such as Mia Fradenburg, were expected to assume larger leadership roles in the fall.
