Midwestern State is projected to finish 10th in the Lone Star Conference (LSC) preseason volleyball poll with 509 points. Isabella Dickens, Jenna Redding, and Macy Scheer have been named LSC Preseason Players to Watch. The Mustangs ended last season at ninth in the conference with a 16-10 record and narrowly missed the conference tournament, which has been expanded to nine teams this year. The preseason recognitions are determined by LSC coaches, sports information directors, and media. Dickens and Redding are key returning players, while Scheer is a promising transfer aiming to make an impact.

  • Midwestern State finished last season with a 16-10 overall record, 9-8 in conference play.
  • Angelo State received 41 of 54 first-place votes in the preseason poll, totaling 951 points.

What's Next

Midwestern State's roadmap includes participation in the Fort Hays State Classic and the Mountain Lion Classic in the upcoming weeks. The team seeks to qualify for the newly expanded LSC volleyball tournament in November, presenting a fresh opportunity for post-season play.

Bottom Line

With key players recognized and an expanded tournament format, the Mustangs have a chance to exceed last season's performance. Fostering new talent like Scheer alongside seasoned players Dickens and Redding could be pivotal for their success this year.
