Vikings volleyball ready to begin their season
MOSES LAKE — The Big Bend Community College Vikings volleyball team is having a successful preseason as they have worked and grown together through practice and some early season matches. With regular season fast approaching, the team is feeling excited to put their training to the test. “We’re feeling good,” said Lindsey Linthicum, the Vikings Head Coach. “We’ve had some little bumps in the road, we played Northwest University on (Aug. 26) and Whitworth University (Aug. 27) and they are both higher teams, but it was a great experience for the girls.” BBCC finished last season 5-21 with Linthicum in her first season as head coach and a full roster of freshmen. This year, despite having some injuries in preseason, the team is returning with experience.
