Volleyball Announces '08 Schedule
July 15, 2008
The Westminster volleyball team announced its schedule for the 2008 season. Coming off a first-ever trip to the NAIA National Championships, the Griffins put together a tough schedule for themselves in 2008.
The season will open with the NAIA Tournament of Champions hosted by Westminster. This year the tournament will be held at Salt Lake Community College and will feature some tough competition. The Griffins will face the College of Idaho, Mesa State (NCAA DII), and Concordia (Calif.) in the event. The following weekend it’s a trip to Irvine, California for the Concordia Labor Day Tournament. At this tournament the Griffins will face Vanguard, Biola, Fresno Pacific, and Westmont.
The Frontier Conference action should be intense this season as well. Every team in the conference has upgraded in talent during the off season, so this should be the most competitive Frontier Conference season yet. Just to make it interesting, the Griffins will head to Illinois half way through the conference schedule for the Olivet Nazarene Tournament.

“We are excited to have Elise join the Griffin program,” stated Norman. “I feel she is a diamond in the rough and will help us right away.
