The volleyball team at Indiana University Northwest will be taller and tougher next season, according to head coach Omar Vazquez. The recent addition of eight local players for 2010-11 has the coach planning strategy around a strong group of hitters and defensive specialists, with a few standout setters on board to set the table for the playmakers.

The IU Northwest volleyball team's first time competing in the AII (Association of Independent Institutions) tournament ends early after two consecutive losses.
The RedHawks dropped the first game to Walla Walla College by a match score of 3-1. After the loss, they were moved to the Loser Bracket to square off against Southwestern College. They were swept in 3 matches.

At first my friend Lisa and I weren't going to do it. We wanted to play a sport but we didn't know if they had a volleyball team here. Lisa and I decided to try it out a month before the season started and I decided to stick with it.
