Volleyball Selects 2010 Captains

Wayne State University head volleyball coach Phil Nickel has announced that three captains have been selected to lead the 2010 squad.  Senior Maureen MacDonald (White Lake, Mich./Marian), in her second straight season as a captain, will be joined by sophomores Cydney Biessel (Ruby, Mich./Yale) and Katarzyna Sak (Warren, Mich./Cousino).

MacDonald, one of three seniors on the team, will return to the outside hitter position after spending a year at the libero spot. The two-year captain played in every match last season and finished ninth in the GLIAC in digs per set (3.35).

Biessel became WSU's starting setter as a freshman last year and totaled 1,015 assists, 13th-most in school history. She finished fifth in the conference in assists per set (9.58) while contributing 21 service aces, second-most on the team, as well as 170 digs, 51 kills and 45 blocks.

Sak is Wayne State’s top returning net player who finished third in the GLIAC with a .305 hitting percentage, tied for 10th-best in school history. An All-GLIAC Honorable Mention selection, Sak was one of only two freshmen to receive all-conference accolades in 2009.

Wayne State will open the 2010 season this weekend at the University of Indianapolis Invitational.
