Whenever I see Courtney doing the interview, I noticed that she has a very nice delivery. I think she should give journalism a shot after her volleyball career is over.

The first match for the 2015 Penn State Women’s Volleyball team isn’t until late August (this isn’t a tease — there is no official schedule yet), but at the post-season banquet for the 2014 Penn State Women’s Volleyball team, Head Coach Russ Rose announced the three team captains for 2015: 6-2 Sr. OH Megan Courtney, 5-6 Sr. libero/DS Kendall Pierce, and 6-4 Sr. RS/Opp. Aiyana Whitney. For those who are interested, we've posted an article looking at some of the accomplishments and statistics for all three, plus videos for each of them. Here's the link: www.dignittanyvolleyball.com/coach-rose-names-three-captains-for-2015-penn-state-womens-volleyball/We've also posted final (but unofficial stats for the 2015 team. Here's the link: www.dignittanyvolleyball.com/36246-2/Nyline, you are sharp but not even you can be this clairvoyant as to know what the Final Stats will be for 2015;). If what you say is true, something tells me that the team will have to forfeit matches for players participating without remaining eligibility. Maybe that's how they have been winning all these championships?

Does Rose elect the captains or are they voted for by the team?

If Kendall Pierce is not the libero it may get awkward, because you always want one on the court to communicate with refs, but with Courtney and Whitney being captains and on the court I am sure there will always be one out there. team captain and floor captain are two different things.

Actually, historically there have been Juniors and, I believe, even sophomores named as captains. Not always, but sometimes. Wonder if that means kendell is gonna be starting Libero I suspect being named a captain is an honor on its own and doesn't really say anything about a starting position in the fall. There should some serious competition for libero and DS and, based on recent years, the competition does not end when the season starts. Based on her play down the stretch I think it's fair to assume Kendall Pierce (and Lainy) will be in the mix for starting positions. But there are some other very talented back row players who are also going to be in the mix.

I wonder if Dykstra will be in the mix at all or just be a bench player

Three seniors. No surprise there. DID THE team get to vote on this? Do the team mates like these players? Are these seniors suck ups to RR and will throw anybody under the bus to achieve their ends? Why announce them now?

Why announce them now? No. Very Much. God No. If they do they will be called out immediately and the hierarchy at PSU is very well established and respected. Because training starts this week in some fashion.

Why announce them now? yes because teams with suck ups, players who are dsliked, and who throw people under the bus, totally dominate their sport. I would guess they announce them now, because spring practice starts a totally different team, and the loss of captains and leadership requires captains and leadership. Of course that's just a guess.
