The Wichita State volleyball team showed some grit to open the season last weekend, rallying to win two matches in the fifth set after losing momentum by dropping the fourth set.
For a mostly inexperienced team, that was an encouraging sign for coach Chris Lamb this early in the season.
“We kept fighting and that’s a holdover from last year’s team,” Lamb said. “If you want to keep good cultures, then you’ve got to protect that. People come and go, but you’ve got to find a way to hold onto everything that’s good. It was nice to see we still have that expectation to win.
