ONU season preview: Volleyball looks to build off of experience from last season

The Ohio Northern volleyball team is excited about the 2012 season.

Ask 22nd-year head coach Kate Witte the theme of this year's squad and it keeps coming back to one word: competition.

Witte and her staff welcome back all six starters, the starting libero and 10 letterwinners from last year's squad that posted a 14-16 record and finished fourth in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 5-4 mark.

Add to the mix a talented incoming freshman group and the argument could be made that every position on the court is up for grabs even thought all the starters return.
