“We don’t have any one person who is really excelling,” Weiss said. “But the captains are really keeping us together. Erin and Mindy have truly dedicated themselves to this team, and have put the team’s success before their own.”
Pospisil agreed that Denniston and Jellin motivate and improve the team.
“They are both amazing players and are so excited about volleyball,” Pospisil said. “When you play with either of them, you really want to do your best.”
A young player that has flourished under the leadership of the veterans is freshman outside hitter Kaego Ogbechie.
Ogbechie raised her kills-per-game average to 3.76 after posting a match-high 15 kills in the Crimson’s loss to Northeastern on Tuesday.
Ogbechie has now led the Crimson in kills in back-to-back games, and her season kill total of 64 is the second-highest total on the team. Erin Denniston leads the team in kills with 76.
