Volleyball

UPG looking to improve

The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg women’s volleyball team will be looking to improve on last season’s 4-22 record under third-year coach Leroy Simms.

Simms did guide the Bobcats into their first ever appearance in the AMCC tournament. The Bobcats were 3-6 in AMCC play during the regular season.

Simms will be counting on two returning starters in Beth-Center graduate Breanne Bell and Ashley Cooper.

Bell, a sophomore outside hitter, earned honorable mention All-Conference honors in 2004.

“Breanne and Ashley gained valuable experience a season ago and will be relied upon heavily for leadership this season,” Simms said.

The Bobcats begin the season in the Oberlin tournament on Friday.
