The JUCO volleyball regular season begins in just over a week, and the Independence Pirates are planning for a competitive season.

 

The Pirates are led by first year head coach Alex Lehocky, and return key sophomores at setter and defensive specialist.

 

Lehocky says this group has impressed her with their effort so far.

 

ICC will participate in a trio of scrimmages this weekend at Butler Community College. Lehocky says she is looking for the team to improve their mental toughness during games.

 

The Pirates open the regular season on August 23rd in Dallas, Texas. KGGF will speak with sophomores from the Pirates volleyball team next week.
