MORAGA, Calif. — Tuesday marked the first day of official practices for the Saint Mary’s volleyball team, kicking off a promising 2016 season with the return of all six starters and eight total letterwinners from a year ago.
Saint Mary’s also welcomes five newcomers, including three true freshmen, to join the four sophomores and three juniors that combine to make up another young team. The Gaels’ lone senior, Hannah Liserra, will once again provide leadership to a roster full of young talent. The difference being this year, the group has a season of experience under their belts.
