The UMaine men’s club volleyball team hosted its final home matches of the season, beating both the University of New England and Bowdoin College on Saturday on Feb. 17. These two wins extended Maine’s perfect record to 6-0 in the New England Collegiate Volleyball League. The team came out strong for the first match beating University of New England in the best-of-five match. Maine won in four games. Bowdoin College, Maine’s final match of the day, presented no problems with Maine winning easily in three games.
Volleyball club members were also out in front of Wal-Mart this weekend fund-raising for the upcoming National Championships in Kansas City, Mo. A few players worked a donation table in front of the store from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. The fund-raising efforts were successful, but the club still needs more funding in order to help with the cost of going to Nationals. Contributions to the UMaine Volleyball club would be greatly appreciated. Please send any donations to help the team’s trip to nationals to the recreational sports office (140 Memorial Gym). The club would like to thank all of its supporters as Maine continues its undefeated season this coming weekend at UNH.
