The Golden Rams have a losing record in 2015 but still put in work through-out the season.
The Anoka Ramsey women’s volleyball team has a losing record of 3-20 this year so far overall and 2-9 in their conference. The team started off the season with 8 consecutive losses before the first win to Vermillion College.
According to ARCC’s women’s volleyball teams head coach Susan Hartfiel, the biggest difference between the way the team played Aug. 24 and now is time.
“Time to grow as a team, time to know each other, time to all get on the same volleyball page,” said Hartfiel.
The Golden Rams have put up a fight through-out this season. In just the first game they had an opportunity serving at 24-22, but they were out scored 4-0 by DCTC, the opposing team.
The third game of the season, the Golden Rams won the first and third sets, with Jasmine Burbank serving 16/16 and Savannah Foley having 14 digs. ARCC took the loss at the end of the night to Riverland 3-2.
Hartfiel has some goals for the rest of the season. She wants the team to get better each day, to take care of the little things and then big things will follow.
“We are now in 6th place, 1 game behind Riverland for 5th,” said Hartfiel.
After the first win to Vermillion, ARCC lost 3 more games until they defeated Riverland Community College on Sept. 18, 3-1, then lost the next 6 games.
The Rams recently won 3-2 against Minnesota West Community & Technical College. The Rams have 4 games left this season.
