The next tournament will be the WyoBraska Tournament Sept. 26-28.
"Last year at this tournament we were 7-4," Sanders said. "This was our turning point. I believe we are a more advanced and a better team, so I know we can continue to improve. I want us to go 9-2 in the tournament."
For this tournament, the women have winning in mind.
"My goal is for us to win and to play to our full potential constantly," Jackie Spooner, outside hitter, Brush, Colo., said.
The women are looking toward consistency to help them improve.
"If we play consistently, we are good," Stormi Harvey, setter, Lubbock, Texas, said. "We need to focus on being consistent, but our chemistry is coming together."
Practice is said to be a key to winning.
"We play well at times, but at times we don't play well," Spooner said. "If we don't play well, we improve with practice."
The next tournament is Sept. 26-28 and the next regular season match is Oct. 2. The next home match for the women will be against McCook Community College, Oct. 7.
