The St. Catharine volleyball team opened its season on Saturday with a straight-set victory over Mid-Continent University.

The match was played at Caldwell County Middle School in Princeton, Ky.
The Patriots got off to a slow start, with four freshmen in the starting lineup,  and let the Cougars build a 7-1 lead early in the first set.
The young Patriots, however, would not go away, battling back to tie the set at 9-9. 

All that a coach can ask of his team is to compete when they face the opposition.

For St. Catharine College coach Tim Wolz, that should be no problem because he has seen his Patriots exhibit fierce competition in the weeks before the actual season starts.
“The competition in practice is like nothing I have ever seen,” said Wolz, who is entering his second year with the Patriots. “Players are battling for every position, but it is healthy. They are not selfish, but competing hard for the benefit of the team.”
