Not much has changed for Liberty’s volleyball team heading into this season and the Hurricanes want it to continue that way.
Liberty is off to a 4-0 start as they head into a week with two tests against East Penn Conference stalwarts with Parkland (3-1) and Central Catholic (2-2) this week.
Head coach Missy Lynn is hoping that this week can pose some challenges to her team this week, as they’ve swept all four of their opponents this season so far.
“We’re really looking forward to being seriously challenged,” said Lynn. “They’re [Parkland and Central] two powerhouses in our conference year after year. I’m not particularly concerned with the outcome of the matches, so much as excited to finally see what my team looks like against some of the best the EPC has to offer.”
With relatively easy slates on the schedule thus far, Lynn has been happy with what she’s seen from the team on the floor.
“I think we look pretty clean considering we’re only two weeks into regular season play,” she said. “Our offense is starting to come together and the communication and flow on the court is strong. We played well in our first two tournaments and we just got one of our strongest hitters back. Once we get her swinging again, and rework our lineup, I think we’ll get into a groove.”
Freedom is off to a 3-1 start with their only set back coming last week in a loss in four games to Bethlehem Catholic.
The Pates have bouts with Southern Lehigh (3-2), Whitehall (0-4) and Emmaus (5-1) this week.
Bethlehem Catholic (3-2) has two straight with wins over Freedom and Allen, but face a stretch with Central Catholic and Easton (2-3) this week.
