Sugar Bears have succesful, winning seasonQuote:
The UCA volleyball season wrapped up rather impressively with 28 wins and eight losses, as well as taking home the Southland Conference championship for the second year in a row.
The season ended on Nov. 21, having started three months prior on Aug. 10.
Additionally, the Sugar Bears ran a 15-1 streak in the Southland Conference tournament to represent the conference in the NCAA tournament before losing to the University of Texas at San Antonio. The UTSA Roadrunners won the game 22-11.
“We would have liked to have won the finals. We didn’t play smart at some critical moments,” Coach Steven McRoberts said. “We had some players play great and some didn’t handle the pressure very well. I know they learned a lot from that match and it will help the team next season.”
Chloe Smith, Evans finish career as Sugar BearsQuote:
Seniors defensive specialist Chloe Evans and right side hitter Chloe Smith have reached the end of their volleyball careers at UCA this season.
Evans and Smith will graduate in May to disperse into two completely different lifestyles. Both women have been playing for UCA for four years, and one is moving on in an attempt to further her volleyball career elsewhere.
“Both have been four-year starters,” coach Steven McRoberts said. “Chloe Evans has been our best serve receiver passer and Chloe Smith has been an outstanding right side for us.”
