The 2011 Western Wyoming Community College volleyball team enters the season with expectations at an all-time high.  The Mustangs are ranked #3 in the NJCAA Preseason Top 25 National Poll.  Rick Reynolds, entering his 4th year as head coach, returns five starters and a total of 12 sophomores from the 2010 team that finished 3rd at the NJCAA National Championship.  The Mustangs have five newcomers who joined in the quest to bring continued success to Rushmore Gymnasium.   

With so many returners, Reynolds is excited for the challenge of defending the Region IX North Championship.  “It is exciting to have a lot of players who experienced last year’s success return.  This experience should be beneficial but our goal is not to live off of last year’s team.  We have to build our own dreams and earn our own respect,” Reynolds stated.  “This team is totally different and it is important they take control early and keep their minds focused on the process we have to go through to earn respect and achieve our goals.”
