“Control what you can:” App State volleyball makes the most of each opportunity

Andy McLean

Coming off an offseason that has been anything but typical, App State volleyball heads into the 2020 season with high hopes.

“We want to win as many matches as we can,” head coach Matt Ginipro said. “We already know that we’re going to be playing in the conference tournament regardless of our record, so let’s just be really good as many times as possible.”

Before the Mountaineers started their season, numerous matches were postponed or canceled due COVID-19, and the team wondered if they would even have a season at all. With questions regarding social inequality, if classes will be moved online or remain in-person, the upcoming election, and many others, Ginipro and his staff have altered how they lead their team in an attempt to avoid adding stress on their players.
