Summary

The Soap Lake Eagles enter the new volleyball season with a renovated varsity lineup and head coach Erin Fletcher. Following the graduation of eight seniors and the departure of former coach Nikki Noble, the team focuses on rebuilding its foundation. Sophomore Marina Zubritzkiy serves as the lone returning varsity player and the team captain for the upcoming schedule. Fletcher prioritizes fundamental training to maintain the program's tradition of competitive, scrappy play within the Central Washington B League.
