ONU season preview: Women's Cross Country sets sights on school record

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 29, 2012

After winning back-to-back Ohio Athletic Conference Championships the past two years, one could wonder what's left for motivation for the Ohio Northern women's cross country team heading into the 2012 campaign.

How about setting a school record with a third straight league title for starters?

"We have never won three straight OAC titles and that's our goal this year," fourth-year head coach Jason Maus said. "It will be a difficult task, as we lost a big part of last year's team to graduation. But we have a strong nucleus of returners and are very much looking forward to the season."

ONU season preview: Volleyball looks to build off of experience from last season

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 29, 2012

The Ohio Northern volleyball team is excited about the 2012 season.

Ask 22nd-year head coach Kate Witte the theme of this year's squad and it keeps coming back to one word: competition.

Witte and her staff welcome back all six starters, the starting libero and 10 letterwinners from last year's squad that posted a 14-16 record and finished fourth in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 5-4 mark.

Add to the mix a talented incoming freshman group and the argument could be made that every position on the court is up for grabs even thought all the starters return.
