Great job, Ladies!

I think it can safely be said that this team would have gone to the NCAA Tournament if they were still competing in the HL, but this move coupled with these fantastic first year results leaves me optimistic that the program will reach new heights in the near future. Great season! Go Valpo! You've made us proud this year, ladies!

It was Drake's pitcher Newman that really did in the Crusaders. She's a red-shirt junior so Newman will be back next year and probably pitching for some pro team soon after she finishes her eligibility.

And that is a big problem. she struck out 15 Crusaders and pitched a no hitter to boot!

She's the setter. Significant role for sure. Played in every set for Valpo this season.

Great fun to see a two-sport athlete shining.

She isn't the only two sport athlete. Brandon Riley (football) and Steve Helm (basketball) were two of the four legs that set a new school record in the 4X400 relay at the MVC track meet last weekend. Congrats to them.

And, based on the T&F roster, Stacy Jones (football) also does two sports.
