The Sinclair Tartans women’s volleyball team will be taking on the number one ranked University of Cincinnati’s lady Bearcats here at Sinclair on Friday and have been practicing hard for the match.
“The players believe that they are a team and they also trust my coaching, unfortunately they have not performed 100 to 110 percent. I would say they played about 75 percent of their capability for the last weekend’s four matches,” said Coach Gan.
“We are looking forward as a team to play above that next week.”
The Tartans have been practicing this week after their match against Columbus State.
“ We need to do much better on our kill percentage and close up the block. From the result of last weekend’s four matches, we improved about 12 to 15 percent in our kill percentage from less than 10 percent to 20 to 23 percent. This is big for the team,” said Coach Gan.
“Twenty percent in kill percentage for a team is considered average, and 30 percent will be considered a good team kill percentage. We do have a lot of work to do to reach that 30 percent benchmark and hopefully I’ll see some great kills on Friday game.”
Although our lady Tartans had a battling game against Columbus State they are ready and believe that next Friday’s game against the UC Bearcats will be an ongoing game according to Coach Gan.
“These girls have been working their butts off … Our main focus that we have all been working on is helping each other out. Improving on our weak areas and I have also come up with new drills to help them out. All this is all in my plan for practice, as long as they don’t just do it but do it right, the team should improve and play better for next Friday game,” said Coach Gan.
The Sinclair lady Tartans volleyball team will be playing the University of Cincinnati’s lady Bearcats on Friday at 6pm in the Building 8 gym.
