Monday, fun-day.

It's time to get ready, our team has a big weekend ahead of us at home. Friday we play defending CCAA champs San Bernardino, and Saturday we've got cross town rival Cal Poly Pomona.

Pumped!!!

Last weekend, we opened conference with Chico and Stanislaus and bettered our record to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in conference.

For those who don't know me, I have been on the team here at CSULA for the past two years, however I was forced to take a redshirt year my first year after transferring from CPP and unfortunately missed all of last year as well after tearing my ACL two weeks before season started.

Thankfully, after waiting for what seems like forever and training endlessly, I am ready to play and eager to make my contributions to a program that has been so supportive and rewarding for me despite my absense from the court. I don't know anyone else who has been as excited as I was about double days starting, haha, but those two-a-days and the six matches that have
followed over the past month have been one of the most exciting and special experiences for me.

Our team is amazing.

We are highly physical, super fast, and most importantly, we have depth in every position; allowing for competition every day at practice. In turn the constant challenge has allowed each of us to become mentally stronger and also a much more cohesive group. I am thrilled to finally be a part of the Golden Eagle winning tradition and look forward to this season. It is going to be a great one so make sure you come out and support!

Any match will be an exciting one because the CCAA is home to some of the best DII volleyball.
