The Westminster women's volleyball team was selected to finish in third this season in the 2015 St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) Volleyball Preseason Poll. The Westminster Blue Jays received three first place votes and tallied 66 points in the poll.
Westminster returns a lineup that not only has on the court experience but on the court success. The Blue Jays bring back five starters, plus their libero, from a team that finished 17-14 overall and 14-4 in the SLIAC. Head Coach Curtis Madson can count on the continued development of three time All-Conference performer Lexi Collier, who finished second in the conference in attack percentage last season. Junior middle hitter Amanda Kiso also returns after earning Second Team All-Conference honors last season as does junior setter Kayla Reeg, who led the conference in assists per set. Caroline Will, a senior libero, is back as is sophomore outside hitter Hannah Marshall. Newcomers Nikki Testerman, Micha Frasher, and Bridget Ringwald will battle to find a spot in the Blue Jays rotation.
The Blue Jays open up the 2015 season at Stephens College on Tuesday, September 1 at 7:00 p.m. Their home-opener is on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:00 p.m. versus Blackburn College.
