After last season, the Lady Sharks lost various key players like outside hitter Massiel Matos, who was the American Volleyball Coaches Association Player of the Year for two-year colleges the past two years, libero Thais De Castro Andrade and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outside hitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wenting-aims-lead-lady-sharks-back-back-national-volleyball-titles\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Sun Wenting<\/span><\/a> to graduation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team is hoping that last year\u2019s crop of freshman\u2014now sophomores<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">setter Tiziana Baumrukova, who played this summer for the Czech National Team, and Brazilian setter Thayna Mendes can guide the team on and off the court. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot on our shoulders,\u201d Benoit said. \u201cThis is a new team and it\u2019s shown through these summer practices. We need to make sure our team is clicking with its chemistry but that\u2019s going to have to be done through practices. I know these girls can do it though.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team is emphasizing the importance of team-building exercises inside and outside of practices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to get to know each other,\u201d Baumrukova said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s talking to each other and making the freshman know that they\u2019re not alone on this team to spending time with everyone when we\u2019re not in practice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benoit is confident in his team\u2019s ability to succeed this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLike every season, it\u2019s going to be work,\u201d Benoit said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to let any of these expectations get in our heads.
