"Competition in the spring is important," said head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell. "When teams don't compete for an entire year you get out of practice and so we will get four competitions in the spring. With that, we only have a few weeks of team practice before that happens so it's a time where teams are a little messy but it is fun. We get try new things, different lineups and it's a great time to test and see if we are heading in the right direction."
All spring matches will play rally scoring to 25 and the best two-out-of-three sets will win the match. Records in spring tournaments do not affect a team's school record. Live stats will not be provided but www.gobulldogs.com will provide limited results and recaps at the conclusion of each tournament.
