The Atlantic Trojan Volleyball team is set to open up the new season tonight at home for a quadrangular. The Trojans are looking to improve on their 4-28 record a year ago and will be using a mix of youth and experience to try to accomplish that.

The Trojans lost their kill-leader from last year Catherine Leonard to graduation but do bring back their second and third leaders in that category in Cheyenne Elliot and Sidney Svoboda.

The Trojans will also need to replace the setter position with the graduation of Megan Behrends. It will have to be an inexperienced player at the varsity level to fill that roll.

Atlantic had some success during the summer with a strong showing at the Iowa State team camp and have had a number of other off season workouts and scrimmages to prepare for the year.

The Trojans will welcome in CAM, ACGC, and Earlham for the opening quad tonight at the Atlantic High School Gymnasium. Action is set to begin at 5:00pm.
