The Fighting Scotsí volleyball team finished second this past weekend at the Bishop Invitational at Ohio Wesleyan University. Of the four games the Scots participated in, they managed to win three of four.
After being tested in their first game against nationally ranked Heidelberg University, the Scots bounced back, leaving their mark on the invitational and improving their overall record to 3-2 this season.
The usual suspects are back in action. Averaging 3.44 kills per game, KateLynn Riley í10 remains in her All-American form from last season. NCAC Newcomer of the Year from 2008, Lizzi Beal í12 has done her part at setter, contributing 113 assists to Woosterís efforts, which amounts to almost 80 percent of the teamís assists.
Starting today, the Scots will be co-hosting the Yeo-Scot Classic with Oberlin College. This eight-team tournament will take place in the Timken Gymnasium over the course of today and tomorrow, with games happening around the clock.
Wooster will open action against Manchester College at 4 p.m., followed by the Baldwin-Wallace Univeristy Yellow Jackets at 8 p.m.
The next day the Scots start up again at 11 a.m. versus the Westminster College Titans, followed by La Roche College at 1 p.m.
This tournament marks the first home matches of the volleyball season. With four chances to watch the Scots, there are ample opportunities to check out some highly competitive Div. III volleyball.
Volleyball is the only Fighting Scots team with home action this weekend.
