Eagles Women's Volleyball Preview

The Edgewood College Women’s Volleyball squad fell just shy of the conference postseason in 2021 with a 17-11 record, including an 8-5 record in NACC play.  The Eagles roster features a balanced group, half upperclassmen (including a graduate student) and half sophomores and freshman.  The Eagles roster features four seniors, juniors, and sophomores, five freshmen, and a graduate student. 

“ I cannot wait to see all of the great things this team will do,” said head coach Paul Schlomer.  “We have very talented volleyball athletes, but better yet, our team is filled with wonderful people.”

Head Coach Paul Schlomer

When asked about the season, Schlomer said, “I am incredibly excited to get this 2022 season started.  We have a ton of talent on our team this year with the ability to go out and make a run at the conference championship.  But “potential” is just a word.  We have to go out and play the way we are capable every match.  We have a very tough schedule this year against many top programs across the nation.  We are motivated to prove ourselves and assert that we belong amongst the top VB programs in the Midwest.”
