Re: Amy Anderson leads Jacks against Drake

It seems the SDSU VB program is well ahead of most mid-level DI teams at this point. Now, I don't expect them to be able to compete with the upper-half of the major conference teams, but I bet they would fair well against the middle and lower third of those conferences. Should really help with recruiting in the near future. Nice work by the coaches, staff, and current players. Certainly another source of pride for SDSU.
