Following the upset of heavy favorite Glenbrook South, the Warriors managed to hold off Niles West 15-10 and 15-9. As a result of their last 2 wins, the Warriors are 2-0 in conference play.
A good effort by the starting line up of the Warriors has been enough to knock off the most recent opponents. "This year's starting line up varies,' states Coach Tipton. "As for right now the starting line up consists of Joyce Fillipp '87, Stephanie Pinske '88, Stacy Walter '87, Diane Raupp '88 and Sue Berger '87.' Coach Tipton says that Pinske and Fillipp are her two most valuable players.

Coach Tipton realizes that her team's biggest disadvantages are the lack of height and the lack of experience. Coach Tipton states, "Even though we aren't tall, we play good defense and we get some real outstanding scoops that demoralize our opponents. Our other weakness is inexperience and will take care of itself once we get deeper into the season."
Although the team has gotten off to a rocky start, they plan on being more impressive in the games yet to come Jenine Starky '88 states, "I'm looking forward to a good season this year. Our team shows a lot of spirit and I feel that if we work to our full potential, we should take conference." Captain Stephanie Pinske states, "If our team works together this year we will be able to reach all of our goals."
"The volleyball team really needs some fan support," added Coach Tipton. "Our next game will be on October 1, so come on out and support our team," concluded Coach Tipton.
