Mashing in the Middle: The Growth of WMU's Middle Blocking Trio

Early this season, it's understandable to see why Western Michigan University's volleyball team heavily relied on its outside hitters for a lot of the offense.

Three-time All-Mid-American Conference First Team setter Logan Case has three-time All-MAC First Team outside hitter Maggie King, along with many other talented hitters on the pins who can all put the volleyball down with authority.

"I think part of our system, as we were developing, had early success on the pins, and that's where the eyes went," WMU head coach Colleen Munson said.

Now, the eyes of opponents have to respect the Broncos' middle hitters as well as those players on the outside.
