Volleyball earns New England Region ranking

WATERVILLE, Maine — The Colby College volleyball team, unbeaten at 3-0 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, is ranked 14th in the latest New England Women’s Volleyball Association Division III regional poll.

The Mules, under head coach Candice Parent, have been dominant in 3-0 wins against Trinity College, Wesleyan University, and Bates College.

 

The schedule gets tough over the next five matches. After a non-conference match tonight against a tough Bowdoin College squad, the Mules play four road matches against teams ranked ahead of them in the poll. Colby is at No. 2 Amherst on Friday and No. 5 Williams in a Saturday match. The Mules get the week off before heading to No. 8 Connecticut College next Friday and No. 3 Tufts on Saturday.
