2015 Shadow Ridge Girls Volleyball Capsule
SHADOW RIDGE
League: Division I Southwest
Head coach: Karissa Guthrie, 10th season
2014 record: 26-10 (7-1 Southwest, first)
Returning letter winners (starters): Six (two)
Top athletes: S Eadara Files (Sr.), OH Whittnee Nihipali (So.)
Outlook: First the good news for the Mustangs: Files, who dished out 828 assists in helping the Mustangs advance to the Division I state title match last year, returns to guide the offense.
Now the more challenging news: Seven seniors graduated, and the Mustangs have only two returning starters, but still have high hopes for the season.
Nihipali had 173 kills last season and should be a big contributor.
"There is no rebuilding in our program, simply reloading," Guthrie said. "We believe we have put together a very strong group of student-athletes who will continue to have the same goals going into the 2015 season."
