Grade: C

In the first season under head coach Bryan Bunn, the team did the one thing it was expected to do – improve. With a roster featuring 10 new faces, the team accumulated the most wins the program has seen since 1999 (16-19, 5-11 ACC).

One area of concern next season for the Wolfpack will be attacking. While the team only hit .192 on the season, according to Bunn, the goal each match is hitting at a .250 mark. But with the top three kill earners returning in junior outside hitter Luciana Shafer, junior middle blocker Margaret Salata and junior outside hitter Becah Fogle, who missed the final 14 games of the season due to injury, the team will look to put the year of experience together to good use.

And while chemistry was an issue at times, with a new face at setter – redshirt sophomore and University of Colorado transfer Megan Cyr – the year of playing together will help. The Pack is also returning its top three blockers in Salata, Cyr and freshman middle blocker Brie Merriwether. After one season under the new coach, the team has shown good improvement and seems poised to continue to make strides next year.
