It\u2019s been 10 months since the <\/span>Miami Dade College volleyball team finished third<\/a><\/strong><\/span> at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I National Tournament in <\/span>Hutchinson, Kansas.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the layoff period, forced on by the coronavirus pandemic, the team lost several key players to graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n

They include outside hitters <\/span>Scherine Dahoue<\/b>, who averaged 3.66 kills per set and was named Honorable Mention All-American while serving as the team\u2019s captain, and<\/span> Yaniris Miller-Green<\/b>, who averaged 2.95 kills and 1.05 blocks per set and was selected to the NJCAA First Team All-Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the Lady Sharks, who returned to practice on September 8, look to integrate nine new players from six different countries including Italy, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the new additions include Italian outside hitter <\/span>Elena Bianchi<\/b>, who previously played with the U20 Giovolley club (the team reached the Coppa Italia and placed third), and defensive specialist <\/span>Stephania Vallejo<\/b>, who arrived in Miami from Peru in 2017 and played at Hialeah Gardens High School for three years. She led the Gladiators to a district championship her senior year and was selected team MVP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s squad features players who speak Spanish, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese, and English.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult having so many different languages in the locker room,\u201d said Lady Sharks\u2019 <\/span>Head Volleyball Coach <\/span>Origenes \u201cKiko\u201d Benoit<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span> \u201cBut they all know what\u2019s going on on the court and they understand what I\u2019m trying to say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Practices started in early September, but three players were unable to join due to travel restrictions. Middle blockers Camila Perez, Sara Da Silva and Kaylon Cruickshank are stuck in Peru, Brazil, and Trinidad and Tobago respectively. They are expected to arrive in Miami by the end of September.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe most difficult aspect of having so many new players is attempting to unify everyone\u2019s mindset,\u201d Benoit said. \u201cEveryone comes in with a different mindset so we have to reach a middle ground and get everyone on the same page.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure team unity, Benoit has his team practice Monday\u2019s-Friday\u2019s from 1:45 to 5:30 p.m. and encourages his players to spend time together off the court. Bianchi followed Benoit\u2019s advice. She spent her first day in Miami talking and exchanging stories with fellow teammates Paola Pimentel, Ana Araujo, Brenda Arango, and Janelly Ceopa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all going to make each other better [on] and [off] the volleyball court,\u201d Bianchi said. \u201cI think we have a great group and we will be able to do great things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the bulk of the roster now in Miami, the Lady Sharks hope to continue their dominant run that has resulted in a 116-10 record since 2016 and back-to-back National Championships in 2016 and 2017. Last year, they ranked third in the nation in kills per set (13.64) and assists per set (12.91), and seventh in blocks per set (2.86).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all just getting to know each other,\u201d Vallejo said. \u201cThe things that I hope [for] this team is to be a family, to work hard, to support each other, and not to turn our backs on each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lady Sharks\u2019 first regular season game is on Jan. 29.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
