In 2019, the team went to Idaho and Nevada to face teams like Utah State Eastern (ranked second this season), Snow College (ranked third) and Seward County Community College (ranked sixth).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, due to coronavirus precautions, the team hasn\u2019t left the state but they have faced ranked top-teams such as N.8 Florida Southwestern State College (3-0) and N.18 Daytona State College (3-1, 3-1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cObviously we practice and play hard because we want to win and be the number one team,\u201d said Lady Sharks\u2019 Head Coach Origenes \u201cKiko\u201d Benoit. \u201cBut I\u2019ve been the number one, number two, number 99. When you wake up you\u2019re still gonna [work hard].\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three sophomores on the team are ranked nationally in several statistical categories: setter <\/span><b>Camila de la Rosa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leads the nation with 11.33 assists per set,<\/span><b> Pimentel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is fourth with<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.85 digs per set, and outside hitter <\/span><b>Erika Asencio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is seventh with 4.46 kills per set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The freshmen have also contributed.

Before we used to sweep everyone in our conference, now every time we play is a closer game,\u201d Benoit said. \u201cA couple of days ago we went 3-1 against Palm Beach. The last time that happened was like four or five years ago, so competition is getting stronger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the squad had a limited pre-season due to the COVID-19 guidelines\u2014with five players getting the virus in November\u2014they have displayed great chemistry throughout the season. The team managed to integrate players from countries like Italy, Peru, Haiti and Brazil by sharing anecdotes through their group chats and cheering each other at games and practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With only four games remaining, the Lady Sharks will look to continue their undefeated season and then move on to the State Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat&#8217;s one of the steps. That\u2019s one of the goals that we had, which is to win conference, states and nationals,\u201d Benoit said. \u201cNow we have to work step-by-step and concentrate for the State Tournament.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Dade College volleyball team won its 36th Southern Conference title Thursday night after defeating Eastern Florida State College (25-20, 19-25, 25-15, 25-18).
