The VSU volleyball team starts its quest for a conference championship today against Gulf South Conference newcomer Shorter.

 Following the match Thurday afternoon, the Blazers face conference rivals Alabama Huntsville Friday and West Georgia Saturday.

 The Blazers went 2-2 in the Azalea Classic Lynn invitational tournament this past weekend.

VSU is quickly solidifying their position as a top dog program early on in the 2012 season.

  Freshman Nikki McDaniel has shown yet again that she can be a leader straight out of High School; she had a total of 19 kills this tournament.

 After this weekend, the next nine matches will be played on the road. It will last a little least than month before the GSC/SSC Regional Crossover. The last six matches of the regular season will be played at home in the P.E. Complex.
