Highlighting the squad is the return of all six starters and libero Kandice Kelly from last season’s team that posted an 18-11 overall record. Second-team All-Big Sky performer Megan Zanto headlines the front row, after finishing tenth in the nation in blocking. Also returning to the starting rotation are Meggie Malyurek and Kamber Kelly, who garnered All-Big Sky honorable mention accolades.
“We’re ready to get going,” Malauulu said. “I think the kids are excited to build on our successes during spring ball. We’re already way ahead of last season, because we have a very experienced group returning.
“We are also very young,” Malauulu said. “We’ll have six freshmen in the gym, but they bring a high level of skill to the team, so I anticipate everyone being on the same page much sooner.”
The Bobcats will conduct two-a-day workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while holding three-a-day workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next three weeks.
Montana State was picked to finish fourth in the Big Sky Conference preseason coaches poll. Perennial Big Sky power and defending league champion Sacramento State was tabbed to finish first with 45 points. The Hornets were followed by Idaho State 42, Eastern Washington 39, MSU 34, Portland State 22, Weber State 17, Northern Arizona 15 and Montana 8.
The Bobcats will open the 2004 campaign at Gonzaga on Sept. 1.
