As fall sports in the Big East remain postponed, women’s volleyball head coach Allison Yaeger and senior middle blocker Amanda Rachwal broke down how the team has been training and getting ready to play a spring season under the COVID-19 guidelines.
“It’s very different,” Yaeger said. “The girls wear masks when we train, and at times, we are conditioning. I think it’s hard and I can’t imagine being in their position having to train as Division I athletes and wear masks, so my hat goes off to my student-athletes.”
Yaeger said the team is looking surprisingly good in training and added that the atmosphere on the court is as electric as ever, despite the long hiatus from training together.
