CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State volleyball team opened practice for the 2018 season on Wednesday, as the Beavers took the court for the first time in 2018. OSU will seek a return to the postseason after making its fourth-ever NCAA Tournament appearance a year ago.

Oregon State returns 10 letterwinners, including five starters, from last year's postseason run. Senior middle blockers Kory Cheshire and Maddy Gravley and sophomore outside hitter Maddie Goings each started all 33 matches in 2017, while opposite hitter Haylie Bennett played in every set as a redshirt freshman.
