Goldey-Beacom Volleyball Chosen to End Fourth in the CACC South Division
A season of high expectations for Goldey-Beacom’s volleyball team sees it picked to end fourth in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division based on a vote by the league’s coaches.
One of the go-to players this season is junior libero/defensive specialist Makinsie Balderson (Fairfax, VA), who has been a vital player in many ways over her first two seasons. Last season, she was sixth in the country with 60 aces, 10th with 0.54 aces per set, 24th in the league with 281 digs and 31st with 62 assists. Balderson enters the season tied for eighth in school history with 103 aces.
Senior Olivia Florence (Glen Allen, VA) has been an incredibly important piece to the puzzle during her time at setter and once again hopes to be one of the key players. She closed last season 17th in the CACC with 4.33 assists per set, 19th with 342 assists and 21st with 0.34 aces per set. Florence begins this year third in school history with 1,907 assists and just outside the top 10 with 100 aces.
A welcome addition back to the lineup is sophomore outside hitter Lindsay Przywara (Williamstown, NJ), who missed all of last season due to injury. The 2016 CACC Rookie of the Year is as important to the lineup as anyone, finishing that year 53rd in the country with 3.72 kills per set, 66th with 4.17 points per set and eighth in the league with 331 kills.
Goldey-Beacom opens the campaign August 23 against Salem in Kutztown, PA.
