During the spring semester, the team begins playing games, and as Benedict Ciszek said, "time (for the team) to shine." I lome gamns and practices are currently held in the pit of tho Joyce Center; however, many players arc hoping that this will change with the addition of the new HccSports building. Despite the location of their u li 'i games, Lh1~re has been a drastic difference in the atten dance at the games so far this year. il "At the !Western Michigan University] game last week we had at least double the amount of people we had from last year," commented Ciszek, a sophomore dr.fensive specialist. In the first horne game of the sea son last Thursday, Notre Dame defeated Western t! Michigan in three straight sets, 15-13, 15-10 and 15- ji 13. The team understands that it is still early in the sea son, and that they have a long way to go, according to Powell. "Coming off the winter break, we have played as well as we could by stepping up our level of intensity. We're still trying to get to a point where we are operating on a competitive level. Our middle hitters need to gel with our setters better and that will ultimately improve out communication," said Powell. The elub will have an opportunity to hone their skills this weekend when·they travel to Michigan for a series of games. On Friday they face Eastern Michigan and then will be in Ann Arbor for a tournament hosted by the University of Michigan. Most of the volleyball team's opponents hail from the Big I 0, but the team does not belong in a division or have an affiliation with a conference. The end of the season ineludes two competitions: the MIVA tourna nwnt (March 27 -29) and the National Club Volleyball Tournament at the University of Texas (April 15-19) in whieh thfl team will try to demonstrate how strong this program actually is. ~ ~------.-- Thursday, January 29, 1998 The Observer • SPORTS page 17 • NFL ...
