HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:
Head Volleyball Coach Amanda Schultze on the match against the Blackhawks:
"I felt like we played pretty good defense," Schultze said. "We serve received well. Overall, I didn't see a lot of the same errors being made. We adjusted and worked hard. Southeastern came ready to go and played a good game."
Schultze on what she will remember about her 2025 team:
"It was a fun group," Schultze said. "The freshmen were really fun, and the sophomores were very good at adjusting to different lineups. We changed lineups throughout the season and each and every one of them on the team were willing to play wherever I needed them to without questioning it. That was great because when I put out different lineups, you couldn't really tell a difference. Just a good group to work with."
THANK YOU, FANS:
Northeast Athletics would like to extend a huge thank you to our sophomores, the families of our student-athletes, our amazing fans and all our supporters for making this year such a memorable one! We can't wait to see you in 2026!
