The Schreiner volleyball team began the year with high hopes to establish itself in conference competition once again. Plagued by injuries and misfortune, the Mountaineers struggled through the ’05 season posting a 2-22 overall record and a 2-18 record in the ASC. Coach John Wyatt Greenlee cited a silver lining in the play of junior Whitney Barron of Richmond, as she ended the season ranked second in the American Southwest Conference in digs per game (5.09) and set a Schreiner record in a match against LeTourneau University with 37 digs. Outside hitters Kassie Barlow of Harlingen, and Danielle Gaitan of Seguin, did commendable jobs as well, according to Greenlee, given the fact that they were required to play out of position for most of the season. “Next year, we will be able to put both Kassie and Danielle back in their normal positions, where they will be more comfortable and more effective. We will continue to strengthen our foundation next season; we have a solid core of veteran players returning and we have verbal commitments from several key recruits,” states Greenlee. “Next season we should realize this year’s potential.”
