Many volleyball teams think of the position as a middle blocker, with a heavy emphasis on the block.
"Lambo likes to consider us middle attackers," Wichita State middle Natalie Foster said.
Foster sums up a significant story in coach Chris Lamb's 24 seasons at Wichita State. When Lamb arrived, he came with a plan to take an underutilized position and produce scoring. While he couldn't recruit the physically imposing outside hitters who dominate college volleyball, he could turn average athletes into valuable scorers in the middle.
"I don't think we could do the same dance routine as our opponents when you know they have better dancers," he said.
