2016 Volleyball thread
Coming off our first ever conference title in the sport in 2015, UNCW Volleyball went from a program that didn't win a single CAA match over a 3-year period to a powerhouse under Coach Amy Bambanek. Can the '16 squad repeat as champs?

Seahawk Volleyball was picked to finish 2nd this year by the coaches, however. Which is just fine. Traditionally our programs perform best when we're not the favorites. Go Seahawks!

Lott Named Preseason All-CAA, Seahawks Picked Second

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCW, the defending Colonial Athletic Association champion, was picked to finish second behind preseason favorite Hofstra by the league's nine head coaches. Seahawk senior outside hitter Nicole Lott was picked for the preseason all-conference squad.

"The recognition of being honored with a preseason award ultimately shows that the coaches in our conference value Nicole's talent and work ethic," said UNCW Head Coach Amy Bambenek, who is entering her eighth season at the lead. "It was also nice to see Anna Moss named honorable mention as a rising sophomore who was at the top of the CAA for blocks last season."

Lott was a first-team All-CAA selection as a junior after leading the Seahawks in kills (385) and kills per set (3.5). Those figures ranked her fourth in the CAA in both categories.

Sophomore Anna Moss earned honorable mention honors after a strong freshman season in which she was among the conference leaders in blocks.
The Seahawks captured their first conference title in 2015 and advanced to the Chapel Hill Regional of the NCAA tournament for the first time. UNCW finished the breakthrough season with a record of 24-8.

"The preseason rankings over the years have shown a steady increase for our program and this year our team knows there is a lot more at stake. This is great recognition for our program, but the work has to be done daily to achieve our goals."

UNCW opens its ninth season under the direction of Bambenek on Aug. 26 with a 7 p.m. start against Winthrop. Tickets are on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office and online at UNCWsports.com/BuyTickets.

Hawks defeat the Dolphins 3-1 to take the tournament! The 4th and final set was particularly emphatic, as the Seahawks scored the first 13 points of the set, then won it 25-10. It was such a dominant effort, that Coach Bambanek was even able to get 3 of her freshman into the match in that set.

Hawks (2-0) take on Davidson (0-2) tomorrow at noon.

Just curious. Are they drawing any sort of a crowd for the home matches? Seems like such a hot start would deserve a good showing. Hopefully the Athletic Dept is keeping the students in the know of our fall success so far.
