 After going 29-11 last year the John Brown University Golden Eagles volleyball team, which achieved its 1st ever NAIA national ranking (ending the season number 21), will face many challenges next year.

The major challenge the team will have to overcome is the loss of 4 starters, including highly talented and experienced, 4-year starters Aimee Golemon and Melody Murray. Head coach Robyn Gordon has filled the openings on the team, creating what she sees as a roster filled with talent, but short on experience. "I'm not sure how long it will take to get going," Gordon said, "but I know the talent is there."

The success of the team rests on the shoulders of senior Amber Squires, the only returning hitter on the team. "We need [Squires] to get around 4 kills per game to be successful," Gordon said. Squires, who averaged 3.6 kills a game, is up to the challenge; a challenge that will routinely manifest itself in double and triple blocks as teams aim to target her and specifically shut her down.

   One way that Gordon plans to help Squires out with the opposing block is to put more hitters on the floor by switching from a 5-1 to a 6-2 offense, which will allow for 3 hitters to always occupy the front row while the setter is always on the back row. Gordon has not ruled out the 5-1 offense, but is looking for options to help the inexperienced hitters.

Another challenge the John Brown University women face is the new scoring system. All games are rally-scoring with the 1st 4 going to Thirty and the last, if needed, to Fifteen. This type of scoring makes defense much more important than in the side-out game. "The past 2 years we have had a high-powered offense, which the team focused on rather than defense," Gordon said. "This year's team has a desire to play defense that sets them apart from others in the past."

The Golden Eagles will have a chance to test its defense as well as its offense, led by Squires, August. 31 and Sepember. 1 at the John Brown University Classic Tournament. The tournament, which will be held at the university, includes a field of 7 other area colleges and universities. JBU plays at 2pm and 6pm on August. 31st and at Noon and 4pm on September 1st.
