| About the Mighty, Mighty Sagehens:
The 2008 Sagehens at roost
Pomona-Pitzer Volleyball is a program on a mission (not from God, but
from Val); not only to become a top SCIAC team, but to qualify for the
post season and compete in the
NCAA Division III Volleyball Tournament (that starts November
12th - mark your calendars).
The Pomona-Pitzer Volleyball program is a member of the Southern
California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). The Mighty,
Mighty Sagehens practice and play their home games in Pomona College's
state of the art multi-million dollar Rains Center, one of the best
Division III facilities in the nation.

Bridgewater
(VA) Volleyball Tournament
September 19-20, 2008
A brief pictorial summary of the action
between matches at the
Bridgewater
tournament.
Underclassmen know that a
senior always goes first... |
As one homeless man looks on --
in hope that Val will drop a chip or two, another
man, probably scouting the PP team for an opponent,
watches from afar through a camera lens.
|
Even when not in California,
Ruchi likes to "go Hollywood" with the big shades. |
This picture was pulled from
the most wanted wall at the Bridgewater post office. |
Hmm, I guess that is how
Bridgewater got its name... |
Everyone once in a while, Val
likes to let loose with her inner child. To ensure
playing time, players smartly mimic Val, as not to
annoy her. |
After all the fun, it was
time to go play volleyball
A brief pictorial summary of the
Bridgewater
volleyball invitational...
The host team was very gracious |
Carly and Heidi got the flu |
Quite a few parents and fans
travelled to the tourney and were better behaved than
normal. |
Megan and Sarah were named to the
all-tournament team, while Dana was name tourney MVP -
CONGRATS!

Chicken scratches from
a sage...
Megan's father (aka 47) is knowledgeable in local
lore and Pomonian history (he majored in that at college. He
notes that the Sagehens used to be called the Hun's. He says
that the Pomona sports teams were called the Huns in the early
1900s. Read more on how the
Pomona
Pitzer Hun's became the Sagehens.

The 2008 Sagehens
The Sagehens look to continue their
successes on the court and improve on a solid 2007 season. With
the loss of only 1 senior to graduation, there is a strong group
of performers returning and ready to lead the way. Senior Middle
Hitter Megan Prior looks to continue her strength at the net
after garnering All America Honorable Mention, All Region and
First Team All SCIAC honors, while senior libero Ruchi Patel
will patrol the back court after a break-out season in 2007 also
being selected to the SCIAC First Team. Both seniors will play a
key role as Co-Captains and leaders of this squad.
Also, Sarah Amos is returning from a
minor 10 minute surgery...
Sarah before surgery |
Sarah after surgery |
We will have a battle on our hands in the setting position with
sophomores Hannah Rasmussen, Erin Saliba (Second Team All SCIAC
2007) and freshman Kenzie Aries who could also see time
attacking on the right side. Defensively we have a very strong
unit with Patel, sophomores Emily Saliba and Ali Cone and
freshman Heidi Leonard providing solid ball control.
On the outside junior Sarah Amos will be a strong contributor
along with sophomore Emily Saliba and freshmen Jordan Hammond
and Carly Hite. Hammond and Hite will serve the Hens in dual
roles contributing not only on the outside, but in the middle
and on the right side, respectively. Speaking of the right side,
sophomores Eleanor Hughes and Christine Chan will also battle it
out for court time.
Watch the Sagehens hitters
warm-up to "Hammertime"
Note not only the full
range of motion to warm up their hitting arms,
but the correct use of the team
colors.
Prior will lead the way in
the middle along with junior Dana Kittrelle, both of which are
in the Top Ten Career list for block assists and total blocks.
Hammond and Hughes will add depth in this key position.
Of course the PP defensive
players are
known for their all-around hustle. Here are the defensive players "Doing
the Hustle."
Team captain, Ruchi,
was quoted as saying, "These are my people!!"
More Sagehens
The Sagehen Volleyball Squad will kick
off its season hosting the Pacific Coast Classic on September
